Follow this simple back to school dental checklist to make sure the whole family is keeping their smiles bright and healthy\u2014and have fun while they\u2019re doing it!<\/p>\n

Pack Healthy Lunches & Snacks<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not hard to make healthy, wholesome, and tooth-friendly lunches and snacks that both you and your kids will love! Fresh fruits and veggies with yogurt or hummus for dipping, protein-packed meats, cheeses, and nuts, and milk are all packed with vitamins and minerals that help keep teeth strong. Avoid giving your kids too much sugar (that includes dried fruits) and starches to keep plaque at bay.<\/p>\n

Keep a Consistent Brushing Schedule<\/b><\/h2>\n

The best way to make sure that your children don\u2019t develop pesky cavities or decay is to make sure that they brush their teeth properly twice a day. You can make it a fun part of your day for your kids. Some ways to do this is to offer them rewards for their consistent brushing each week, brush your teeth with them, and let them pick their toothbrush color and flavor of toothpaste. You\u2019ll never have to worry about begging or reminding your kids to brush their teeth again!<\/p>\n
