Summer break isn’t just for pool parties and road trips—it’s also the perfect time to check off important health appointments for your kids, teens, and even college students. At Smile More Dentistry and Washington Dental Associates, we believe in making dental care as stress-free and convenient as possible for busy families—and that’s exactly what summer allows.
No School = No Stress
Let’s be honest: juggling school schedules, sports, music lessons, and parent meetings makes it nearly impossible to prioritize dental care during the school year. Summer opens up a golden window of opportunity to catch up on preventive care, orthodontic adjustments, or even overdue treatments.
- Cleanings and checkups
- Sealants for cavity prevention
- Orthodontic consultations for teens
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel before school snacks take over again
- And for your older kids coming home from college? Now’s the time to talk wisdom teeth.
The Wisdom Tooth Window
Wisdom teeth typically show up between ages 17–25, and summer is hands-down the best time to have them removed. Why? Because healing takes a few days, and no one wants to be recovering from oral surgery during midterms or a dorm party.
Here’s why our patients love summer extractions:
- More time to rest and recover at home
- No academic stress or missed classes
- Easier scheduling for sedation and follow-ups
Bonus: We offer IV sedation for maximum comfort and a smooth experience. Your college kid may not thank you now, but they’ll be grateful later when that impacted wisdom tooth doesn’t interrupt finals week.
A Mom’s Perspective
“Every summer, I make sure my two kids get their cleanings, sealants, and any dental work done before the chaos of September. Smile More Dentistry makes it easy—they’re gentle, efficient, and treat us like family. Last year, my son had his wisdom teeth removed in June, and by July, he was back on the basketball court like nothing happened!”
– Linda R., mom of 3 from Old Tappan
Smart Planning = Healthy Smiles for the Whole Year
Making dental appointments in June or July means fewer surprises when school starts. No toothaches during exams. No missed games for last-minute fillings. And no scrambling to find time during the busy fall season.
This also gives us time to:
- Monitor any orthodontic concerns
- Check on the development of permanent teeth
- Offer personalized advice for home care routines
Whether it’s your little one’s first cleaning or your college student’s extraction, we’re here to make dental care smooth, supportive, and even fun.
Special Summer Offer – Book Before July 15th!
To make this even sweeter, we’re offering:

- FREE fluoride treatment with every cleaning for kids 17 and under
- Family appointment blocks available—get everyone in on the same day
