SMILE 7 BECAUSE 8 IS TOO LATE
Dr. Cosmo and the team at Cranston Orthodontics would like to say thank you to the wonderful community that we have been a part of for the past 25 years!
In the past quarter century of treating the amazing children in our area, we have observed that approximately 8 out of 10 kids that we see evaluated are dealing with difficult dental situations, such as issues with skeletal growth, breathing, speech, airway, tooth development, etc. that cause significant complexity in treatment versus the non-invasive, easy approach of early intervention.
In the past, our team has worked diligently to increase awareness through interdisciplinary education and encouraging early complimentary evaluations of children at the recommended age of 7 to screen for issues that can be resolved early on. However, we continue to see a distressing number of adolescents with difficult cases that could have benefited from early intervention.
As a result, we are created our “SMILE 7 BECAUSE 8 IS TOO LATE” campaign to increase awareness directly to our community and their families to educate about the importance and ease of evaluating our children at age 7. We have worked determinedly to find a way to accommodate the busy schedules of our families while also making sure our children can be screened. Please take a moment to review our screening process for a virtual evaluation where we can help determine your child’s needs without having to schedule an in-person consultation. The process is quick, easy, and can help avoid traumatic dental situations.
Our warmest regards for good health and a wonderful year,
Dr. Cosmo & Team
