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.<\/p>\n

Dental check-up: the must-do step in September<\/h2>\n

During the summer it is common to relax habits, including dental hygiene. A check-up with the children's dentist<\/strong> in September helps to detect incipient caries, control tooth development and reinforce good oral hygiene habits.<\/p>\n

With the return to school hours, it is important to return to a steady brushing routine: morning and evening, for two minutes<\/strong>. You can use colourful children's brushes, songs or mobile apps to motivate them.<\/p>\n
