They’ve been having fun for the last couple of months but who knows what kinds of sugary treats and other goodies they’ve been munching. A dental checkup can check for problems and help keep their mouths healthy throughout the school year.
The best way to keep your little one on the road to optimal oral health, is by compiling a back-to-school checklist. This is a great way to keep your children’s oral health in check. What all should be included on this checklist? Here are some friendly tips to help you get started:
- Take them to regular dental examinations. Ed will check the health of the teeth and gums, spotting cavities early will make treatment more manageable.
- Help them practice excellent dental hygiene. Lynda can help with advice on brushing and keeping their teeth and gums clean.
- Pack healthy lunches. Ditch sugary treats for healthy options like grains, milk, yogurt, fruit and raw vegetables.
- Protect their mouths during sporting activities. Mouth-guards are designed to keep your teeth in place and away from danger.
Send them back to school with healthy smiles.
