Celebrate National Children’s Dental Month at El Reno Grand Dental Studio
Though February is National Children’s Dental Month, many people may not think their child’s smile is anything to worry about. A child’s smile is just as important, if not more, than an adult’s, as their teeth are more at risk of being infected. Dr. Michael Kirk and Dr. Adam Cohlmia understand the importance of your child’s smile, which is why they offer children’s dentistry!
It is important to establish healthy dental habits in your child at an early age. When your little one becomes aware of the proper ways to take care of their teeth early on, they are able to carry those healthy routines with them throughout their life. An important aspect in children’s dentistry is dental sealants. The molars and premolars have deep grooves and pits, giving bacteria an ideal breeding environment. The dental sealants offer your child’s smile protection by covering those grooves, preventing harmful bacterium from making your child’s smile their home. Dental sealants are a key component in cavity prevention, as the molars and premolars are the primary chewing teeth.
Another important area in children’s dentistry is fluoride treatments. Fluoride is an interesting mineral, as they attract other minerals to help your child’s teeth become strong. Tap water is a good way for your child to get fluoride, but because many people use bottled water, your child could be missing out. When your child comes in for their appointment, our team will be able to determine whether or not their smile needs a fluoride boost. Both dental sealants and fluoride treatments are wonderful and effective ways to keep your child’s smile as healthy and beautiful as possible!
Take advantage of National Children’s Dental Month, and make your child’s appointment today! We will be able to set them up for success, and they will be able to have a wonderful smile!
If you’d like to set up an appointment, call us today at El Reno Family Dentistry. Our office is located in El Reno and serves patients from El Reno, Yukon, Minco, Calumet, Hinton, and other communities in the Canadian County.

Whiten Your Smile in Time For Valentine’s Day!
When you are insecure about your smile, it can prevent you from doing a lot of things. You may feel too self-conscious to meet new people, laugh, or make a lasting first impression. Though it may not seem like a big deal, having discovered teeth can really take a toll on your self-esteem. Because Dr. Adam Cohlmia and Dr. Michael Kirk understand how you feel, they offer teeth whitening services to their patients. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, this is a great way to make sure you have the white smile you have always wanted!
There are many things that can affect the luminosity of your smile. Coffee, tea, tobacco use, and even certain medications can discolor your smile. The good news is that there are a couple of different ways we can whiten your teeth. The first is our in-office whitening, which gives you a quicker result. The process involves applying professional bleaching gel onto your teeth, which is able to erase set-in stains in less than an hour!
The other whitening option is our at-home whitening system. With this, we supply you with customized, clear trays that fit your mouth. We will also provide you with the whitening gel, and you will wear the trays every day as directed. Though you will be able to notice a whiter smile almost immediately, this is a more gradual whitening of your smile. The full results will show within two weeks!
A few of the benefits of whitening your smile is that it restores your confidence. If you have spent too much time feeling less than confident about your smile, this is the perfect opportunity for you to make a change for the better! Also, with Valentine’s Day around the corner, this would be the perfect gift for yourself! If you have any questions on how our doctors can help you with your teeth whitening process or would like to make an appointment, contact our El Reno office!
