Although summer is almost over, it stays hot here in Tucson for much of the year. Keeping our children hydrated is very important. With so many choices in the marketplace, what should we know as parents?  What are the best beverage options for our kids?

In dentistry, we like to remind parents that juice and other sugary drinks should be consumed in moderation since they can cause tooth decay. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends:

1. No juice for infants younger than 6 months
2. Limit juice to 4 – 6 ounces per day for children 1 to 6 years old
3. Limit juice to 8 – 12 ounces per day for children 7 to 18 years old

What are good alternatives to juice? Water and low-fat milk are the best drink choices. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the best food replacements.

Enjoy the last few days of summer before school starts and stay healthy!

It’s already been a few weeks since the new Northwest Children’s Dentistry website went live, and we’re pleased so far with the results.  Already, we’re seeing a noticeable difference in communication between our patients and our office.

In an effort to keep building that communication, we’re going to be posting a lot more to Facebook in 2012.  This will allow you to ask us questions, see what’s happening in our dental office, and keep us connected with our most important asset: our community.

In that spirit, we’re kicking off a Facebook contest for 2012.  If you “like” the Northwest Children’s Dentistry Facebook page, you’ll be automatically entered to win a bunch of prizes we will be giving away over the rest of the year.

Here’s how it works - every time our Facebook page receives a milestone, such as “100 Likes,” we will give away 1 prize.  Everyone who has liked our page at that point will be entered into a drawing to win the associated prize.  Here’s the list of all the stuff we’re potentially giving away:

Tell your friends to “Like” us for the chance to win more prizes over the rest of the year!  (Contest ends December 31, 2012.)
