It seems as if the shopping doesn\u2019t stop: clothes, shoes, and school supplies. One thing you may not have thought about \u2014 are your kids&#8217; mouths in good shape to take on the new school year? Their smile should be strong, shining, and should make them feel confident walking into their classroom. If you\u2019ve checked off the\u00a0back-to-school shopping list but haven\u2019t taken your kids to the dentist lately, it\u2019s time to catch up with their children\u2019s dentistry in Worthington. Our office not only works to get their smile gleaming and bright, but also offers great dental tips to help your family survive the school year with healthy teeth.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Is Dental Care on Your Back-To-School List?<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to preparing for school health-wise, dental examinations and cleanings should be on your to-do list. Reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that tooth decay affects U.S. children more than any other chronic disease. Especially with the processed foods and drinks that are so easy to get a hold of outside of the house, you must protect their teeth as much as possible. In fact, your kids could end up missing important days of school from dental pain and oral health issues if they skip their preventive care appointments.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips to help ensure\u00a0your child&#8217;s continued dental health:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Schedule your child\u2019s regular dental examination to diagnose and treat or prevent dental problems before they become a problem later on this\u00a0school year.<\/li>\n<li>Ask Dr. LJ\u00a0about preventive sealants and fluoride treatments to strengthen and further protect their teeth from decay.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your kids are brushing regularly with fluoride-enriched toothpaste and flossing every day.<\/li>\n<li>While\u00a0you are shopping for\u00a0back-to-school items, consider buying several toothbrushes at once. This way, your kids can change them out every three months. You also should consider changing brushes after a cold or illness.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to provide your kids with healthy lunches and snacks. If you pack their lunches, include\u00a0whole grain bread with their sandwich;\u00a0milk, yogurt, or a cheese stick to provide them with\u00a0some dairy;\u00a0and raw vegetables or fruit, which are often easy to pack. If your child enjoys the provided school lunches, review healthy, balanced food choices with them each morning before school. Try to limit the amount of\u00a0sugary foods and soft drinks your kids\u00a0consume. Water is always a good choice.<\/li>\n<li>Does your child play sports? Ask our office about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ada.org\/en\/publications\/ada-news\/2017-archive\/march\/protecting-young-athletes-mouths-teeth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">custom mouthguards for the student athletes<\/a> in your family. Most dental emergencies take place because of a sports-related injury. Before you\u2019re frantically searching for a \u201cdentist near me\u201d online, get prepared and protect their teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>It\u2019s Time to Visit the Dental Office Before You\u2019re Too Busy.<\/h2>\n<p>The school year can be a busy time filled with practices, school events, homework, not to mention your own work schedule. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drljadam.com\/contact.html\">Contact us<\/a> today to find a time that fits with your calendar. Making time for your family\u2019s dental care is important.\u00a0Dr. LJ and his team look forward to seeing you and will get you in, out, and on your way as quick as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing for the school year isn\u2019t easy.
