But then when you look back in August, the summer seems to have flown? That\u2019s why your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npdma.com\/preventive-services.html\">Amherst pediatric dentist<\/a> want to encourage you to schedule summertime checkups for your kids now while there\u2019s still plenty of summer left. There are advantages to looking after your children\u2019s smiles now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children\u2019s Dentistry in Amherst<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental checkup includes both a cleaning and oral exam. During the exam, the dentists and hygienists at Northampton Pediatric Dentistry check your children\u2019s teeth for signs of decay; we examine the condition of their gum tissue; and we evaluate their bite and alignment. If we discover any concerns, then summer is a great time to begin treatment. Whether your child has a tooth with a cavity, needs a crown placed over a damaged tooth or is ready to begin orthodontic treatment, summer offers the opportunity to address almost any issue without the confines of a school schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safe Sedation Dentistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs. Yang and Tremblay understand that a dentist\u2019s office can be a somewhat frightening place for young children. And while we will do everything we can to ease your child\u2019s fears, there are times when the aid of a mild sedative may be necessary. In this case, nitrous oxide or laughing gas can be the ideal solution. A small mask is placed over your son or daughter\u2019s nose to deliver a measured dose of gas and oxygen. Almost immediately they\u2019ll feel calm and comfortable. Nitrous oxide also presents the advantage of reducing the gag reflex and it can help them lie still while the dentist completes treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sportsguards from the Kids\u2019 Dentist in Amherst<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is the time for more sports activities such as baseball, softball, basketball, soccer, field hockey and more. If your child is involved in any athletics, then make sure they wear a sportsguard during play and practice. We will fabricate a customized sportsguard that will fit comfortably in their mouths, so they will be more likely to wear this important oral appliance. A sportsguard helps prevent injury to your child\u2019s lips, tongue, cheeks, teeth and gums while they are busy on the field or on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call Your Amherst Pediatric Dentist Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let another week of summer pass without scheduling your children\u2019s dental checkups. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npdma.com\/contact-us.html\">Contact Northampton Pediatric Dentistry<\/a> in Amherst, MA, or Northampton, MA, for an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever noticed that when school ends in June the summer looms really, really looong?
