Thank You From Palos Family Dentistry

With the year coming to an end, life gets hectic and a pediatric dental office gets very busy.  The kids are out of school and anxiously awaiting Santa Claus, and parents are rushing to get their kids into the dentist while the kids are off school and parents are off from work.  But I wanted to take a second to thank all of the patients and families in our practice.  I can speak for everyone at the office that we all truly love coming to work every day, and we appreciate the time we’re able to spend with you and your kids.  You are the ones who make my job fun and fulfilling.

 

Happy Holidays!

Through all of the mayhem of gifts and parties, let’s not forget to cherish the time we spend together as a family.  All of our kids are growing so fast, and it’s easy to forget all the good that we have in our lives today.  Stop for a minute this Christmas and give thanks for what we have, and pray for those across the world who live in fear, whose families are split apart in war-torn areas, and whose loved ones are lost for senseless reasons.  Thank you all again, and may God bless you and your families this Christmas!

Our team will work with you to schedule around your child's school schedule during this holiday season. Call our office today to book an appointment with our caring team.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children be screened by an orthodontist at age 7, for one very good reason. There are several orthodontic problems that are easier to treat in younger children, once they have all of their permanent teeth, including:

  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Functional shifts
  • Crowded teeth
  • Spaced out teeth
  • Extra or missing teeth
  • Teeth issues from thumb- or pacifier-sucking

Bottle Mouth Syndrome: How Palos Heights Parents Can Protect Their Child’s Smile

As parents, we do everything we can to protect our children, from scraped knees to sniffles. But did you know that something as innocent as a bedtime bottle could put your child’s smile at risk? Let’s talk about bottlemouth syndrome: what it is, why it matters, and how Palos Heights families can prevent it.

What Is Bottle Mouth Syndrome?

Bottle mouth syndrome (also called “early childhood caries”) happens when a child’s teeth are exposed too often to sugary liquids—like milk, formula, or juice—especially while sleeping.
