- Help them drink enough water! By giving your child water, you can help them repel the cavities that sugar-laden drinks such as juice and soda can foster.
- Feed them healthy, summer snacks such as cheese sticks, veggie sticks, fresh fruit and trail mix with nuts and dried fruits. It will give them the energy they need and keep their teeth safe at the same time.
- Get a protective mouth guard for your child if they are active in sports.
- In an emergency, seek care immediately. If your child breaks a tooth or has pain in their mouth, seek treatment right away.
- Schedule your child’s dental check-up.
