Back-to-School Smile Check: Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Dental Visit
August means back-to-school shopping, organizing schedules, and getting ready for the year ahead. But amid the excitement and chaos, there’s one important item that shouldn’t be left off your checklist—a dental visit.
At AC Dental, we recommend scheduling your child’s checkup before the school year begins. Here’s why an August appointment is one of the smartest steps you can take for your child’s health and confidence.
Start the School Year with a Healthy Smile
A fresh, clean smile can boost confidence and set a positive tone for the year. Our back-to-school dental visits include a full exam and professional cleaning to remove plaque, check for cavities, and ensure everything is developing properly. It’s a great way to help your child feel prepared and proud of their smile.
Prevent Disruptions Later
Dental problems like cavities, sensitivity, or toothaches can cause real discomfort—and may lead to missed school days or emergency visits. An early checkup allows us to catch and treat issues before they affect your child’s focus, comfort, or attendance during class.
Easier to Schedule Before School Starts
Once the school bell rings, finding time for appointments gets trickier. Sports, homework, and after-school activities can fill the calendar quickly. By booking a visit in August, you’re choosing convenience—and crossing one more thing off your to-do list before life gets busy.
Great Timing for Custom Mouthguards
If your child is playing contact sports this fall, now is the time to protect their smile with a custom-fit mouthguard. These offer better protection and comfort than over-the-counter versions—and can help prevent serious dental injuries on the field or court.
Reinforce Good Habits Early
Our team makes dental visits educational and fun, helping reinforce brushing and flossing habits your child can carry into the school year. We also offer tips on lunchbox-friendly foods and daily routines that support oral health.

Patient Testimonials
My Uncle referred me to this dentist as he’s a patient himself. I was scared going in as I haven’t visited a dentist in a very long time. Everyone was so professional and caring. They put my mind at ease. The dentist explained everything that I would need done, and it’s a lot, in a way I could understand it. I’m so glad I listened to my Uncle and chose this dental office. I will highly recommend this place if anyone asks me.
