Back to School Dental Routines

As kids head back to school, it's a great time to refresh healthy dental routines that will keep their smiles strong all year long.

Brushing and Flossing on a School Schedule

Help your child build a consistent routine of brushing twice a day and flossing once a day, even with a busy school schedule. Packing a travel toothbrush for after lunch can help reinforce the habit.

Healthy Food Choices

Pack lunches and snacks that are low in sugar, such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and cheese, to help protect your child's teeth throughout the school day.

Schedule a Dental Exam

Back to school is an ideal time to schedule a dental exam and cleaning, ensuring any issues are caught early and your child starts the school year with a healthy smile.

Mouth Guards for Sports

If your child plays sports, a properly fitted mouth guard can help prevent serious dental injuries during practices and games.
