🍎 📚✏️ Back to school means new teachers, new routines… and unfortunately, a higher risk of cavities.
Many parents are surprised to learn that cavity rates often increase once school starts. Why?
✔️ More snacks throughout the day
✔️ Sugary drinks in lunchboxes
✔️ Busy mornings that shorten brushing time
✔️ Sticky lunch foods that cling to teeth
✔️ Changing routines and less sleep
The good news? Most cavities are preventable with healthy habits and regular dental visits.
A professional cleaning early in the school year helps remove plaque, catch small problems before they become painful, and gives your child the best chance for a healthy smile all year long.
