Why Summer Is the Ideal Time to Prioritize Your Family’s Dental Needs 

Summer often brings a slower pace, fewer school obligations, and a little more breathing room in your family's schedule. It’s also a smart time to get ahead of your family’s dental care, especially for children or teens who may benefit from orthodontic treatment or routine checkups before the school year begins. 

Comprehensive Services in One Location 

Jackson Dental provides nearly every dental service under one roof, helping patients avoid the hassle of outside referrals or multiple office visits. With fewer commitments during summer break, now is the perfect time to take care of overdue treatments or evaluations. 

Here’s what we offer: 

  • Preventive exams and cleanings: Routine visits to keep teeth and gums healthy 

  • Fillings, crowns, and restorative care: Repair and protect damaged teeth before problems worsen 

  • Sedation dentistry and oral surgery: Gentle options for tooth extractions and complex procedures 

  • TMJ and sleep apnea treatment: Targeted care for jaw pain, headaches, and nighttime breathing issues 

  • Functional orthodontics & Myofunctional Therapy: Diagnose airway and bite concerns that may affect growth, speech, and overall wellness 

Preventive Visits Make a Big Difference 

Routine checkups play a key role in long-term dental health and can prevent small issues from becoming costly or painful later on. A typical preventive visit includes: 

  • Comprehensive dental exam: Evaluates for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns 

  • Digital X-rays: Helps detect decay, infection, or bone loss that may not be visible to the eye 

  • Professional cleaning: Removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains for a cleaner, brighter smile 

  • Fluoride treatment: Strengthens enamel in children and teens to help prevent cavities 

  • Oral health coaching: Offers tips and product recommendations for maintaining good habits at home 

Start Functional Orthodontics While School Is Out 

If your child needs airway support and jaw expansion, summer is an ideal time to begin treatment. Functional orthodontics focuses on more than just straightening teeth. It also supports healthy jaw development, facial growth, and proper breathing patterns. 

Getting started during the summer makes it easier for children to adjust to new appliances and muscle therapy exercises without the pressure of early mornings, homework, or after-school activities. It also gives families time to establish good oral hygiene habits and attend follow-up appointments with less disruption. 

At Jackson Dental, we offer a full spectrum of orthodontic services: 

  • Functional orthodontics: Encourages proper facial and airway development through early intervention 

  • Myofunctional therapy: Strengthens tongue and facial muscles to improve breathing and oral posture 

  • Palatal expanders, bonded expanders, Myobraces® and clear aligners: Offers options for both visible and discreet alignment treatment 

  • Orthodontic care for all ages: Personalized solutions for children, teens, and adults

  • Flexible in-house payment plans: Divide your balance into manageable monthly payments 

  • CareCredit® financing option: Apply for extended payment solutions
