\"MyIt\u2019s time for another school year, and we love back to school season at Chaska Dental Center. Even if (like us) you\u2019re not a student, August still feels like a time for new beginnings. But as the children\u2019s dentist in Chaska, we also know kiddos don\u2019t always look forward to back to school. If you\u2019ve got a little one gearing up for back to school, follow these tips to make sure their smile stays healthy, happy, and strong for a successful year!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: Start the Year Off With a Dental Visit<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nothing says \u201cfresh start\u201d like a checkup and cleaning with the family dentist in Chaska. Schedule one for your child and we\u2019ll remove the plaque and tartar that have had the chance to build up over the summer. We\u2019ll also take a set of X-Rays so the dentist can take a peek below the visible surface. If we do detect any areas of decay, a quick <\/span>tooth-colored filling<\/span><\/a> restores the tooth without taking away from your child\u2019s beautiful smile. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants provide added prevention of cavities and infection. Back to school time is also a perfect moment to get your little athlete fitted for a <\/span>sports guard<\/span><\/a> to protect their teeth and gums from injury on the field or court. <\/span><\/p>\n

#2: Pack the Right Snacks<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lunch and snack time are big for kids, but most snacks marketed to children are also hidden sugar bombs. While you\u2019re packing lunch or filling the cabinets with after-school snacks, beware of what you\u2019re choosing. Even seemingly healthy items like granola bars or dried fruit can be chock full of added sugar. Take a peek at the nutritional facts — you might be surprised what you find. Whole fruits, low-fat cheese, and multigrain bread items are all good options for little ones. And when it\u2019s time to hydrate, you really can\u2019t beat pure, clean H2O. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Gold Stars for Brushing and Flossing<\/span><\/h2>\n

While your child is getting into the routine for a new school year, it\u2019s a great time to also start a new brushing and flossing regimen if you don\u2019t already have one in place. Keeping track with a Smile Chart can be great motivation — your child can see progress that they may not notice just from brushing and flossing. Get a calendar or a regular sheet of paper and mark off the days that your little one brushes and flosses properly. Set rewards that make sense for your family, like maybe sharing a movie night or getting a new book. <\/span><\/p>\n
