Back to school marks the start of a new routine for the little ones: books, early mornings, activities... and it is also the perfect time to reinforce good habits, such as taking care of their oral health.
Dental check-up: the must-do step in September
During the summer it is common to relax habits, including dental hygiene. A check-up with the children's dentist in September helps to detect incipient caries, control tooth development and reinforce good oral hygiene habits.
At Dentsana Clinicwe have specialists in paediatric dentistry in Lanzarote who know how to treat children with closeness and trust.
Reinforces the brushing routine
With the return to school hours, it is important to return to a steady brushing routine: morning and evening, for two minutes. You can use colourful children's brushes, songs or mobile apps to motivate them.
Healthy snacks to protect your teeth
The school lunchbox has a direct influence on their dental health. Avoid industrial juices, pastries and sweets. Opt for fresh fruit, sandwiches with wholemeal bread or dairy products with no added sugar.
Extra protection for healthy teeth: sealants and fluoride
The dental sealants are an effective option to prevent caries in permanent molars. We can also apply topical fluoride to reinforce the enamel if necessary.
These treatments are quick, painless and highly recommended at the beginning of the school year.
