Get School-Ready With A Healthy Smile
The start of a new school year is an exciting time for students and families. Between shopping for supplies, meeting teachers, and getting back into routines, don’t forget to put dental health at the top of your checklist!
At Weaver, Reckner & Reinhart Dental Associates, we’re here to help your child head back to class feeling confident and cavity-free.
Here are some simple tips for healthier smiles this school year:
Pack Smart Snacks
School lunches and snacks can impact oral health, too. Avoid sticky fruit snacks, candy, and sports drinks whenever possible—they can lead to decay. Try including:
- Fresh fruits and veggies
- Cheese sticks or yogurt
- Whole grain crackers
- A reusable water bottle instead of sugary drinks
Keep Brushing & Flossing
Busy mornings can make it easy to forget, but brushing twice a day and flossing daily are so important! Even setting a reminder on your phone is a simple way to help kids stay on track during busy school mornings.
Protect Teeth During Sports
If your child plays sports, consider wearing a properly fitted mouthguard. This will protect the teeth from any potential injury.
