Summer is all about sunshine, snacks, and time on the water, but don’t forget to keep those little smiles healthy while you’re having fun! Here are some easy tips to keep your child’s smile shining all summer long⛵⬇️
🌊 Stay Hydrated (with water!)
Skip sugary drinks when you can - Water helps rinse away bacteria and keeps teeth happy.
🍉 Choose Smile-Friendly Snacks
Fresh fruits, veggies, cheese, and yogurt are great options for growing smiles. Bonus: these are perfect for boat days!
🪥 Stick to your Brushing Routine
Late nights and vacations are in the mix— just make sure brushing twice a day remains part of your routine, too!
🍭 Limit Sticky & Sour Treats
Gummy candies and sour snacks can be tough on enamel - save them for special occasions.
😎 Protect Active Smiles
Whether it’s sports, biking, or lake adventures, a mouthguard can help prevent injuries. Bonus: Harbor can make you one!
📅 Don’t Skip Summer Checkups
Before school schedules get busy again, summer is the perfect time to keep up with routine dental cleanings and exams!
