Coastal Pediatric Dentistry

February is very special to us here at Coastal Pediatric Dentistry. While we love Valentine’s Day, that’s not the reason why. It’s actually National Children’s Dental Health Month, a time where parents and dentists alike take a little extra time talking about taking care of the Central Coast’s littlest smiles. In that spirit, we’re going to talk about how regular visits to their dentist not only helps your child’s smile that day, but all the days after. By bringing your little one to see their pediatric dentist, you’re taking a big step in helping them learn about why taking care of their teeth is so important.

This time of year is when it’s great to be a parent. You grew up fantasizing about Santa Claus, and before you know it, you are Santa Claus (it’s OK, we won’t tell). It’s so fun to watch your kids get into the spirit of things and help decorate the house. It all pays off when they rush into the living room and their eyes go wide looking at the presents under the tree. It can also be easy to let their oral hygiene slide during the holidays. Now is when you’re supposed to enjoy all the candies, cakes, pies, and other innumerable goodies that come with the cold weather. It’s important to keep their teeth healthy, however, so here are a few seasonal tips from your pediatric dentist in San Luis Obispo.
