Celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month with Pediatric Dentistry at Sopris Smiles!

February 23, 2024

February marks National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM), a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of oral health in children. Organized by the American Dental Association (ADA), NCDHM brings together professionals, healthcare providers, educators, and communities to promote good oral hygiene practices (including General and Pediatric dentists!)

At Sopris Smiles, we’re excited to celebrate NCDHM by promoting good oral health habits for your little ones. We love to see the whole family! Here are some tips to help you keep your child’s smile healthy and bright:

Schedule a Complimentary “Happy Visit” with Dr. Golnaz Samimifar: Call us to schedule a complimentary “Happy Visit” for your child anytime during the month of February (& beyond!). This visit is a great way to introduce your child to the dental office in a friendly and positive manner. Sopris Smiles can be a lot of fun, we promise!
Promote Good Oral Health Habits:
Start Early: Schedule your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or as soon as their first tooth erupts. This helps them get comfortable with the dental office early on.
Make Brushing Fun:Introduce brushing as a fun activity by using a child-sized toothbrush and a small amount of fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a pea).
Introduce Flossing: Start flossing with fun floss picks as soon as your child’s teeth start touching each other.
Supervise Brushing:Help your child brush their teeth until they are old enough to do it effectively on their own. Make it a fun bedtime and morning routine.
Avoid Bottle Decay:Avoid letting your child fall asleep with a bottle containing anything other than water. Sugary drinks or milk can lead to tooth decay.
Don’t wait! Schedule today: Take advantage of our complimentary “Happy Visit” offer with Dr. Golnaz Samimifar at Sopris Smiles and start your child’s oral health journey on the right foot. Call us today to schedule an appointment! Pediatric Dentistry doesn’t have to be scary, we are here to ensure a fun and comfortable relationship with the dentist.

Celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month with Pediatric Dentistry at Sopris Smiles and give your child the gift of a healthy smile for life. Let’s work together to ensure that every child has a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
