Back-to-School Dental Tips for a Healthy Start!

Timber Kids Dentistry | Bend, Ashland, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, and Medford, OR

The new school year is here, and at Timber Kids Dentistry, we want every child to head back to class with a confident, healthy smile! Whether your child wears braces, needs a cleaning, or has been dealing with speech or eating concerns, now is the perfect time to take care of their oral health.

We proudly serve families across Bend, Ashland, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, and Medford with expert pediatric care that covers everything from prevention to treatment. Here are some helpful back-to-school tips to keep your child’s smile on track:

Schedule a Back-to-School Dental Checkup

Routine visits are a key part of preventative dentistry. Cleanings, fluoride treatments, and early exams help us spot problems before they become serious, like cavities, gum issues, or orthodontic concerns. Start the year off right with a dental visit to keep your child’s teeth clean, strong, and healthy.

Include Cleanings and Cavity Prevention

Even the best brushers and flossers miss spots! Professional cleanings at Timber Kids Dentistry help remove buildup and protect growing smiles. We also offer sealants and fluoride treatments to keep decay away during those busy school months.

Don’t Overlook Speech or Feeding Concerns

If your child has trouble nursing, speaking clearly, or eating certain foods, a frenectomy might help. This simple procedure gently releases a tight lip or tongue tie that can affect everything from communication to oral development. Fall is a great time to address these concerns before school routines are in full swing.

Take Care of Fillings or Other Restorative Needs

Whether your child has cavities or needs follow-up care, don’t wait until winter break. We provide restorative dentistry in a calm, kid-friendly environment so your child can return to school feeling comfortable and confident.
