The time has come for all of our kiddos to start another year of education and growth. How exciting! With summer coming to an end and school supply lists coming home in their backpacks, it’s important to make sure our kids are as prepared for success as possible – and believe it or not, your dentist can help with that.
As many doctors will tell you, the best way to keep yourself and your family healthy is to be proactive instead of reactive. Instead of simply reacting to the pain you’ve been feeling, or noticing difference in your oral health and then seeing the doctor once you realize they haven’t gone away – proactive means taking preventative steps to ensure your health is not only in tip top shape, but that it stays like that.
When people are proactive, they see their dentist regularly for check ups, and don’t neglect the doctor’s orders to maintain their regular brushing and flossing schedules. By being proactive with your children’s oral health, your child is more likely to avoid potential dental disasters that could keep them out of school. Recovery time for common dental ailments can range from 2 hours to a full week – and your child will miss a lot being away from school that long.
Playing catch up – whether that be catching up with all of the school work your child misses while recovering, or catching up on your oral health due to periods of neglect – both are equally harmful and stress inducing. By being proactive with your children’s dental check ups, you can aid in the success of your children’s education by helping them stay healthy in school!
