Back-to-School Tips for Healthy Teeth

The beginning of a new school year is usually a big transition, and as lazy summer mornings are quickly replaced by mad dashes to the bus stop, it's important to not let dental health go by the wayside. Tooth care is critical, but during busy school mornings, kids sometimes forget to brush. Children should see the dentist twice a year, but adequate home care, healthy diets and trauma prevention can ensure that children's teeth stay healthy when they get back to school.
