As summer starts to wrap up and you start thinking about sending your child back to school, don’t forget to schedule a back to school dental exam for your child with your pediatric dentist. Dental exams are necessary for children to help them with any tooth decay that may be starting to form, even with the best flossing and brushing your child could be susceptible to cavities. If cavities are left untreated, they can lead to more serious overall health issues for your child including not being able to focus in school. 

The good news is that with a simple dentist appointment, your child will be ready to tackle the new school year. During your back to school dental exam at All Pro Dental, our pediatric dentists will check your child’s teeth and gums. 

Back To School Dental Checklist in Revere, MA

Just like getting shots or immunizations, a dental exam should be scheduled before school starts again. Here is a checklist to follow to get your child back to school with their biggest smile. 

• Make sure you schedule regular dental exams. Bringing your child in for a regular dental exam twice a year will make sure that both their teeth and gums are healthy, it will also help spot any potentially serious problems early on which can help you save money and save your child from any toothaches. Your pediatric dentist may recommend dental sealants or a fluoride treatment for your child to help protect their teeth.
• Get a new toothbrush and floss. While you’re back to school shopping for school supplies, that’s a great time to make sure your child’s toothbrush is in top shape and that they have floss. You can buy a few toothbrushes and a good reminder on when to switch it out is when their report cards come out. 
• Pack your child lunch with healthy options like grains, milk, cheese, raw vegetables, yogurt or fruit to make sure they are maintaining their oral health in between dental appointments. 
• If your child plays sports, make sure they have a custom-fitted mouthguard to help protect their teeth from getting knocked out.
