One thing that you might not be thinking about during these hectic times is your child\u2019s oral health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 50% of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 10 have had a cavity in one or more of their permanent teeth. When left untreated, these types of oral health problems can turn into a stressful visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websterdentalnh.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dentist\u2019s office<\/a>. Here are three tips and tricks on how to adjust to back-to-school season, all while looking out for your child\u2019s smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevention is Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s recommended that children begin visiting the dentist bi-annually (or every six months) by the time they turn one year old, or within six months of their first tooth growing in\u2014whichever comes first. These routine checkups and cleanings with their dentist in Manchester will help ensure their smile remains protected and cavity-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dentist will capture X-rays during their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websterdentalnh.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">checkup<\/a> to examine their oral structure and jawbone. If they notice any lingering cavities, they\u2019ll be able to quickly attend to them and shield their surrounding teeth from harmful bacteria build-up with dental sealants, if necessary. This will allow you to rest easy knowing your little one\u2019s pearly whites will remain protected until their next checkup and cleaning. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Establish a Good At-Home Oral Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best time to encourage a good at-home hygiene routine is during the transition from summer vacation to the school year. Your child will be open to the idea of change since they\u2019ll be in the midst of it at school and incorporating brushing twice a day (once in the morning and at night) and flossing daily is a great way to avoid any unwelcomed cavities and tooth infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Packing Tooth-Friendly School Lunches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re able to pack your child\u2019s lunch, consider incorporating tooth-healthy foods into it, like fibrous fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and drinks that aren\u2019t packed full of sugar. Each of these offers preventive benefits, like enamel-strengthening compounds and tooth cleaning abilities. If you\u2019re not able to pack your child\u2019s lunch throughout the school year, consider purchasing tooth-friendly snacks for your child to enjoy while they\u2019re working on their homework after school!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though there\u2019s a lot on your plate as a parent to support your child on their journey towards academic success, by being mindful of incorporating even one of these tips into your daily schedule, you could take a huge stride towards avoiding a costly visit to the emergency dentist, all while helping your little one make the most of the school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Mohammad Golparvar has over two decades of experience providing high-quality, personalized dental care to families in Manchester.
