Back to school, back to the dentist.
Back to school planning |
Tooth decay is one of the biggest health issues
among children, accounting for over 51 million hours of school time lost
every year. What’s more, poor dental
health in youth can lead to chronic problems like discomfort, difficulty
chewing and the need for painful and expensive procedures down the road.
Child dental exams an important of back-to-school plans |
Regular
dental exams do more than catch tooth decay. They also let us see if teeth are growing in properly, monitor
the results of their brushing and flossing techniques (and give lessons,
if necessary), and apply fluoride
treatments or protective sealants
that can prevent decay before it
happens. If your kids play sports or engage in other activities that might
cause oral injuries, we can fit them for protective
mouth guards.
Mouthguards are important in protecting your teeth during sports |
So
while you’re making back-to-school
plans, plan on bringing your kids in
for a visit. And for extra credit, try these fun tips for sending them to
school with a smile:
Pick up dental supplies during back-to-school shopping |
1.
Buy new toothbrushes: While they’re getting new notebooks,
pens and other supplies, why not let them pick out a new toothbrush? While you’re at it, pick up two — one for home and one
to bring to school.
2.
Make
a dental care kit for school: To encourage them to brush after lunch and snacks, buy a
zippered plastic-lined bag and include a
toothbrush, toothpaste and floss.
3.
Pack
dental-friendly lunches and snacks: Fruit, nuts, string cheese and
bottled water are all good choices. Avoid sticky foods like raisins or fruit
leather, as they can cause cavities.
4.
Start
a reward system: Encourage good dental
exams like you encourage good grades — with a prize like a night at the
movies, a new video game or other coveted item.
Add a reward system to your routine for better dental checkups |
