Your kids depend on you for guidance in so many areas. Sometimes, guidance is about helping them stay safe from serious trouble.

When your child does something wonderful, your reaction is usually to say, “Good job!” When it comes to dental care, our Riverside, CA team likes to remind you that even if dental hygiene sessions are frustrating at times, it’s very important to remember to offer praise during the good moments, too!
