Back-to school Checklist - Welcome Back Class!
It is that time of year again! Have you reviewed the back-to-school checklist for you child’s oral health?
Your child's back-to-school checklist should include:
Regular dental examinations to diagnose and treat or prevent dental problems. Parents and teachers may not realize there's a dental problem, so regular checkups are important. Your dentist may suggest fluoride treatments or sealants to prevent decay and can diagnose and treat dental problems to save your child pain and lost school time.
Regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing. Head for the dental care aisle when you're out shopping for notebooks, binders and pencils. If parents buy several toothbrushes they could have their child change to a new one every three months or so, or after an illness. If it is hard to remember when to change a brush, you could try to change it every time report cards come out. Ask your dentist for a recommendation on how often to change toothbrushes.
Eating healthy lunches and snacks. Include portable healthy lunch items and snacks in your child's lunch; including grains, milk, cheese, raw vegetables, yogurt or fruit. If your child eats in the school cafeteria, review healthy, balanced food choices with him before the first day of school. Cut back on sugary foods and soft drinks.
Wearing a properly fitted mouth guard. Wearing a mouth guard while participating in organized sports, PE classes or playground activities is crucial for protecting their beautiful smiles.
Wishing you a smooth transition into the 2025-2026 school year!
