Back to School Teeth Care Tips

With the summer vacation approaching its last day and school just about to start, the lazy, leisurely days, when everything could be done comfortably, are coming to an end, too. Getting used to school day routines again is surely challenging – the mornings start early and there is so much to do in the early hours, then the evenings are short and everyone in the family is tired. However, the start of the new school year does not mean that dental routines can be neglected, so here are a few tips about how to make sure your kids take care of their teeth the way they should:
-Get a check before the first day of school – make an appointment with your child’s dentist or oral sedation dentistry Highlands Ranch office to make sure that the new school year starts with healthy teeth;
-Check the routine – kids tend to neglect dental cleaning when they are tired, so check whether your children have properly brushed their teeth in the morning and before bed;
-Prepare healthy snacks – make sure that the snacks that your kids take with them to school are healthy and promote strong teeth. Avoid sweetened snacks, such as doughnuts or chocolate and pack fruits, such as bananas, apples, nuts and cereal bars into the lunch box instead.
