Dental Tips for a Healthy Mouth!

Make oral health part of your Back-to-School routine with these tips:

Put a toothbrush on your list of back-to-school supplies. Toothbrushes should be changed every 3 months or after an illness.

Save sweets for mealtimes. They are less likely to harm your child’s teeth, as saliva flow is greater then.

Snack smart.

- CHOOSE milk or water over pop or juice

- CHOOSE vegetables, fruit, cheese or yogurt

- AVOID soft, sticky sweets that get stuck in your child’s teeth

- AVOID sugary treats that stay in the mouth for a long time, like lollipops or hard candy
