Back to Schools Tips for a Healthy Smile!

According to the Michigan Dental Association, children lose 51 million school hours a year due to dental emergencies.  What can you do to assure the best oral health for your children?

  • Get a dental checkup, making sure preventive measures are in place
  • Limit soda pop consumption – lots of sugar!
  • Wear a mouth guard.  Enspire is a authorized provider of Under Armour mouthguards
  • Pack healthy school snacks.  Chewy fruity snacks often get stuck in the teeth.

Healthy snack ideas:

  • Celery and flavored cream cheese
  • Fresh fruit

Carrot sticks and ranch dip

  • Tortilla wraps
  • Yogurt – drinkable yogurt drinks are great!
  • Crackers and cheese
  • Pretzels
