Anyone else dealing with kids who are “STARVING” when they get out of the pool? We sure are. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Our kids tend to ask for salty, crunchy snacks that are not very smile friendly. In this video, Dr. V shares some of the food she’s had success with this summer to keep the kids full, hydrated, and smiling!

Ever wonder why we don’t have movies blasting at our office? 📺

It’s because we want your child to engage with the experience of being at the dentist. 🏥

We want them to:
🩺 Understand their surroundings
❓ Ask questions
👩🏼‍⚕️ Engage with Dr. V and our great staff

We find that when kids aren’t tuning the experience out, they take more ownership and pride in maintaining their healthy smiles! Empowering our patients makes visits to the dentist easier and easier with time!

Did you know that over 50% of children in Colorado enter kindergarten lacking the basic developmental skills they will need to learn to read and succeed in school?

Well, a local nonprofit, , is working to combat this by providing Colorado families with the tools and resources to read aloud together every day from when their children are 6 months old to 5 years old.

Join us as we collect gently-used children’s books this summer at Rise and Shine Pediatric Dentistry to benefit Reach Out and Read Colorado! 📚

We ask that book donations meet the following criteria:

- Be new or gently used (covers and pages intact, clean and unmarked pages)
- Books are for children aged 0-18
- No textbooks, no coloring or activity books
- No books with sensitive themes such as death, religion, divorce or abuse

Thank you, Rise and Shine friends! 📕📗📘

Tooth Tip Tuesday: Lip and Tongue Ties

👅 What does a pediatric dentist look for when evaluating a lip or tongue tie?

A lip or tongue tie occurs when the tissue connecting the lip or tongue is tighter, shorter, or thicker than usual, which can sometimes affect function.

When we evaluate a child, we’re looking at more than just how the tissue looks—we assess how it functions. Some things we consider include:

✔️ Feeding challenges in infants

✔️ Difficulty latching during breastfeeding

✔️ Limited tongue movement

✔️ Speech concerns

✔️ Trouble cleaning food from teeth

✔️ Gaps between the front teeth related to a lip tie

✔️ Oral development and growth

Not every lip or tongue tie requires treatment. Our goal is to determine whether the tie is impacting your child’s feeding, speech, oral health, or overall function.

If you have concerns about your child’s feeding, speech, or oral development, we’re happy to help guide you through an evaluation and discuss your options.

❤️
