Smiling Toward a New School Year

Did you know that according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, students around the nation miss more than 51 school hours per year because of dental problems or related conditions?  Kids experiencing dental pain can't focus on school work and often miss class.

Make sure routine dental maintenance if part of your child's school year.  Teach your kids to floss once a day and brush twice with a fluoride toothpaste.  Try to limit sugary drinks and foods.  Schedule a visit with a pediatric dentist twice a year to help provide your child with an oral health assessment.  These can help prevent cavities and gingivitis in children.

As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we're happy to give you guidance on how to manage your child's dental needs.  If you have any questions, feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
