Preparing Your Mouth For A Healthy, Happy School Year
Now that we have reached August, the beginning of the academic year and the shift in schedules that goes along with school starting are only a matter of days from taking effect.
An important part of preparing your child for the coming year, is making sure that your family’s oral health is on-track. If things have gotten lax over the summer, now is the acceptable time to turn it all around.
At home, you will need to make sure that your entire brood is diligent about brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash daily. Maybe buy a new round of toothbrushes to make it more exciting.
Beyond that, it will be your duty to get everyone in to see us for checkups every 3-6 months. Everything you do at home is all well and good, but you won’t have access to the tools, training and technology without a great dentist in the picture.

Routine Care Gives Your Kids An Advantage
You may not realize it, but we can play a big role in making the school year better for your children. Here are some of the advantages of regular dental care:
Sharpened Focus
Think about it: it is easy to get distracted when you feel like your teeth are not clean or when you can feel plaque buildup on the backs of your teeth. We have found that having a clean, healthy smile translates into better focus and in turn better performance in school.
Increased Confidence
Kids sense that the condition or appearance of someone’s smile is something others will notice. As such, they will feel so much more confident about the process of making new friends if they have a great-looking smile to share at school.
Less Days Missed
Did you know that there is a very real connection between the health of your smile and the your overall wellness? If your kid has a mouth that is free of infection and decay, he or she is far less likely to have problems elsewhere.
