Greetings!
The leaves are falling and the breezes are getting cooler. Did you see that great Hunters Moon? We would like to thank everyone who helped us celebrate PINKTOBER - in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. We turned the pink on. Reminder to schedule your mammogram or remind someone you love to do so!
Have you scheduled your next dental visit? Don't forget to schedule proposed dental treatment. We know how busy families are today, but most dental benefits and flexible spending accounts do not roll over into the next year.
Have questions about your dental benefits? Call Griswold Dental today 860-376-2624 and ask how we can help you maximize your dental benefits before they are lost.

| Questions About Your Child Going to the Dentist? |
| Tips to Keep Your Child's Smile Healthy
Children have so many firsts; their first words, first steps and... their FIRST Dental Visit!
Many times parents are not sure when to introduce their children to the Dentist. Read on and if you have more questions, please reply to this email and ask us!

| When Should You Bring Your Child in to Meet Us? |
| Dentists Agree That 1 Year of Age is an Ideal Time.
Parents play an important part of this first dental visit. Time is spent educating parents on home oral care, preventing baby bottle tooth decay, teething irritations, and the importance of a healthy diet.

| Why Doesn't He Have Teeth Yet? |
My Son is 10 Months Old...
Slow tooth eruption is not usually a problem. Children's teeth may start erupting anywhere from four to six months of age... and as late as twelve months. Everyone is different. First to show is the bottom middle teeth, then the top middle teeth.
Check out this chart as a guide. Usually by the time your child is three years old, all of their deciduous, a.k.a. baby teeth, have come in.

| How Do I Prepare My Child For Their First Dental Visit? |
| Be Positive.
Be an example for them. Let them know that the Hygienist and Doctor will be counting their teeth and then will clean them to make sure that EVERYONE can see what a healthy and beautiful smile they have!
Children look to their parents - so be sure to let them see you brushing and flossing daily! Let them watch you and even brush and floss together. Set the example for future habits that will help keep their smiles healthy and bright!
