While this is understandable, it\u2019s important to know that students around the U.S. miss thousands of days of school every year due to preventable dental problems like cavities. How can you make sure your child doesn\u2019t contribute to this statistic? Simply follow these three actionable and straightforward tips that you can take advantage of right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Establish a Routine Before Classes Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best parts about summer is that the routine of the school year relaxes, allowing your child to just go with the flow. Unfortunately, the habit of brushing and flossing each day might just flow away as well. Ahead of school, make sure your child is brushing at least twice a day (once in the morning and evening) for two minutes each and flossing before going to bed. By having them do this regularly ahead of classes, it will be much easier for them to keep up these practices on those busy mornings before school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pack a Dental To-Go Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the American Dental Association recommends brushing twice a day, some children (especially those who are cavity-prone or have orthodontics) may benefit from doing so after lunch as well. Some kids may also enjoy the confidence boost that flossing and rinsing with mouthwash give them because they know their breath is fresh and nothing is stuck in their teeth! A travel-sized toothbrush along with floss and a small container of mouthwash easily fit into any bag to make sure your child\u2019s smile is always at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Don\u2019t Pack Juice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most parents know that soda isn\u2019t exactly the best choice for a child\u2019s teeth because it\u2019s loaded with added sugar and slightly acidic, but do you know what this also describes? The majority of fruit juices you\u2019ll find on store shelves. Despite seeming like the healthier option, many juices are just as bad as soda! The best option to put in your child\u2019s lunches is always unflavored water. It keeps your child hydrated, rinses away food particles, and encourages saliva production that enables their mouth to naturally clean itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Tip: Schedule a Back-to-School Checkup!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No child\u2019s oral hygiene regimen is complete without routine checkups and cleanings with their dentist. By scheduling a quick appointment a few weeks ahead of school, they can make sure your child doesn\u2019t have any dental issues that could become worse and end up causing them to miss classes down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, these tips help keep your child healthy and confident, plus they give parents the one thing they crave most\u2014peace of mind. They require little time, deliver outsized benefits compared to the effort, and will ensure that everyone has one less thing to worry about during this busy time of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avantdentistry.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\">Dr. Annie Yu<\/a> earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, and she then pursued an intensive postgraduate residency program at the University of Florida College of Dentistry.
