Fall sports are in full swing, and we love seeing kids out there having fun! Whether they’re running down the soccer field or gearing up for another game, a properly fitted mouthguard can help protect their teeth from unexpected bumps and falls. Add it to the uniform checklist so protecting their smile becomes just another part of getting game-day ready!

🦷✨ A few sweet smile reminders!

🍭 Try to limit sugary snacks & drinks, especially between meals.

💧 Water is best for sipping throughout the day.

🪥 Brush 2x a day for 2 minutes with fluoride toothpaste.

🧵 Don’t forget to floss once teeth are touching!

🥨 Choose tooth-friendly snacks like cheese, yogurt, veggies & whole grains.

🥤 Avoid frequent sipping on juice, sports drinks, soda, or sweetened milk — frequency matters!

🌙 After nighttime brushing, stick with water only.

🦷 And remember those routine dental checkups every 6 months to help keep little smiles healthy and cavity-free!

Ever hear your child say something is stuck in their tooth? Molars have tiny grooves and pits that are great for chewing, but they can also hold onto pieces of food. Paying a little extra attention to those back teeth while brushing can help keep those tricky areas clean!

Cavities don’t only form where you can easily see them! The spaces between teeth can trap plaque and food that a toothbrush may not reach. That’s one reason flossing is such an important part of your child’s routine. Cleaning between those little teeth helps protect the spots brushing alone can miss!
