Here are our summer dental tips for helping your kids maintain their healthy habits!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nothing puts a smile on the face of a child like summer! But, keeping that smile requires kids to brush and floss their teeth. With this in mind, here are summer dental tips for helping your kids maintain their brushing habits:<\/p>\n

1. Remind Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth<\/h3>\n

With all the activities that happen over the summer, it may be difficult for families to keep the same schedule as they had during the school year. So, your kids may sometimes forget to brush\u00a0and floss their teeth. \u00a0But, it is important\u00a0to remind\u00a0your kids to keep up their daily dental routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Curb the Sweet Tooth<\/h3>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be summer without candy, cake, soft drinks, and other sugary treats. The joys of eating sugary foods, however, can easily turn into the sorrows of tooth decay. Since kids can get off of their regular diets in the summer, limit your kids\u2019 sugar intake.<\/p>\n

3. Prepare for Dental Emergencies<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, kids can slip and fall and damage their teeth, especially at swimming pools. To treat a damaged tooth, the Academy of General Dentistry recommends carrying a handkerchief, gauze, a container with a lid and ibuprofen. Contact your child\u2019s dentist as soon as possible after the emergency.<\/p>\n

4. Book a Dental Appointment<\/h3>\n

Schedule a dental appointment at the end of the school year rather than before school starts again. In this way, a dentist can catch potential problems that can become worse and affect your kids’ summer plans.<\/p>\n

Without a doubt,\u00a0getting your kids to\u00a0brush and floss regularly over the summer may not be easy. But, it is well worth the effort\u00a0to help your child make\u00a0oral hygiene a daily habit.<\/p>\n
