The Christmas holidays are coming up, and that means one thing… school’s out! Now is one of the most convenient and beneficial times to get your child booked in for a check-up at Lister House Dental Centre, your local Essex-based family dentist.
So, if you’ve been meaning to get your child’s teeth and gums looked at, here’s why now is the perfect time!
No school or time pressure
Weekday appointments can be difficult for busy families, especially during term-time. But during the Christmas holidays, you don’t need to juggle school pickups and after-school clubs!
A quick 20-30 minute check-up during the break will give you peace of mind that your child’s smile is as healthy as possible going into the New Year!
”“I've seen Neal for many years, and it's a no-brainer not to register my girls to see him, too. Neal was happy for me to register them when they were around 6 months old (now 10 and 5). Other than lockdown, we stick with our 6-monthly check-ups. Neal and Leanne work great together, and they're very good with the kids.”

December is the season of sugar
Advent calendars, hot chocolate, candy canes…the upcoming festive season is FULL of opportunities for plaque to build up and for cavities to form.
A check-up during the holidays will help us spot:
- New tooth decay
- Enamel erosion
- Gum inflammation
- Sensitivity
- Poorly erupting teeth
- Signs of grinding
- Bite issues
Early detection keeps your child smiling
Catching issues early on will prevent them from becoming more uncomfortable and expensive further down the line. Sudden dental emergencies while your child is at school are never fun!
”“Very impressed with this dental practice, went above and beyond this afternoon to fix my Grandson Jack's tooth after an accident at school. Even though 111 couldn't find a dentist to see him, they rearranged their appointments to squeeze him in. One temporary fixed tooth later, and next appointment booked, he is home and more than happy. Thank you so much.”

Reinforcing Healthy Habits
With the excitement of Christmas snacks and disrupted routines, children often slip into bad habits, such as not brushing and flossing. A check-up at Lister House during the holidays will allow us to remove built-up plaque and show your child how to clean their pearly whites properly!
We’re open throughout the festive holidays and offer appointments for busy families! Book your kid’s Christmas check-up at Lister House Dental, Harlow, by phoning 01279 423521 / 430101.
