2016 Summer Fun on Long Island

School's out - let the summer fun commence! If you’re looking for ideas to keep the kiddies entertained this summer, Long Island is your one stop shop for indoor and outdoor excitement. 
Go to an amusement park: You don’t have to schlep the family to Six Flags or Hersey Park for amusement - Long Island has its own fun parks - Adventureland and Splish Splash - within reach. Adventureland, located on Route 110 in Farmingdale, has been LI’s main amusement park since 1962 and Splish Splash in Calverton has been ranked the third best water park in the US! Check out their websites for prices and discounts.

Hit the beach: If there’s one thing Long Island is known for, it’s our beaches. Grab the sand toys, beach chairs, and umbrellas and have a family day in the sun. Or, book a ‘staycation’ - rent a home or hotel in the Hamptons, Fire Island, or Montauk for a few days of quality family bonding time!

Enjoy some outdoor fun: Not quite ready to go pro? Help your kids strengthen their hitting or putting skills with a day at the batting cages or mini golf! Country Fair Entertainment & Event Park in Medford has it all - mini golf, driving range, batting cages, go-karts, laser tag, and an arcade. At Station Sports in Huntington Station, you’ll find batting cages and mini golf - but also target paintball and wiffle ball for the youngsters.

Head indoors in poor weather: Movie theaters, museums, indoor play - you name it, Long island has it. On those especially hot or rainy days, treat the kids to a movie, go educational with a day at a local museum or the Long Island Aquarium, or head indoors for some laser tag or trampoline sports at Bounce! or Sky Zone.

For any questions, concerns, or dental emergencies this summer- we’re here for you and your child. Our practice has been providing excellent pediatric dentistry to children of Long Island for over 14 years.  Please feel free to contact us at any of our 3 locations!

Emergency Dental Care For Your Child

With summer in full swing your kids are likely more active than ever, running from camp, to a friends house, to a sport event, or whatever vacation you have planned. But as we know, the increase in physical activity can lead to an increased risk of injury. 

Parents should be prepared for anything, including dental emergencies such as:

• Chipped or broken tooth
• Knocked-out tooth (and partially dislodged tooth)
• Lost filling
• Broken or loose braces and wires
• Bleeding gums
• Severe tooth ache

While some dental problems may be taken care of at home, others require immediate, professional attention. It’s important to use your best judgment when deciding whether or not to take your child in for an emergency visit. For example: if a baby tooth is lightly knocked out and no pain is felt - it may not be a dire situation as the permanent tooth will grow in and develop normally. Should a permanent tooth fall out - see us IMMEDIATELY, time is a critical factor in saving the tooth!
