During your preparation, you may go clothes shopping and get supplies to check off items on a long list of back to school needs, but there\u2019s one important bullet point that you may be forgetting: dental checkups and cleanings. Keep reading to learn why the summer is the best time to schedule your son or daughter\u2019s routine checkup and cleaning with your dentist in Chesterfield.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>When Should I Book My Kids\u2019 Dental Checkup &amp; Cleaning?<\/h2>\r\nThe summertime is great for kids because they have a free schedule, allowing for fun time at the pool, park, and playing with friends. However, with this newfound time on their hands, it\u2019s a great moment to take them in for routine checkups and cleanings. They will not only have a less hectic schedule, but you\u2019ll also ensure that their smiles are in shape for the upcoming schoolyear.\r\n\r\nEven adults tend to have more time in the summer, which means you can work with your dentist to make appointments that fit with your schedule. You can even turn days with the dentist into a fun and exciting adventure. Lastly, the school year is just a busier time. Busier for your kids, your family, and even your dentist! That\u2019s why you can usually find more availability in the summer than any other time of the year, making it easy and convenient to book an appointment!\r\n<h2>Why are Routine Checkups and Cleanings Important?<\/h2>\r\nCavities are one of the most common health problems in children, and they can even affect their learning. Children with untreated tooth decay are more likely to receive a lower GPA than those without. In fact, an estimated 51 million hours of school are missed each year for oral health issues. Additionally, oral health problems can affect your kids \u2018confidence and ability to socialize.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yenzerdental.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">Preventive checkups and cleanings<\/a> are important because they can prevent dental issues before they even happen. During your kids\u2019 checkups, your family dentist in Chesterfield will carefully examine their smiles to ensure that they are cavity-free and healthy. If any issues are detected, your dentist can treat them to send your kids off to school with healthy and happy smiles.\r\n\r\nAre you ready to set your kids up for oral health success during the most convenient time of the year? Contact your Chesterfield dentist to schedule an appointment before the summer is over!\r\n<h2>Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\r\nDr. Jeff Yenzer is proud to offer dental services for every member of your family.
