School will be back in session before you know it. Send your child off to class with a new back bag, fresh pencils and a healthy smile. Some schools require a back-to-school dental exam. It’s always a good time of year to schedule one of your child’s regular visits. “We can help spot and take care of any issues so your child doesn’t have to miss class once school starts,” says ADA pediatric dentist Dr. Mary Hayes. “It’s also a great time to help get back on track if some of your child’s dental habits fell away during summer, when normal routines can go out the window and there are a lot more treats around.”
Here are a few articles from the ADA that will prepare you what to ask at your child’s appointment:
