Back to School Dental Tips. Health Meals and Snacking Advise:

Now that school is back in session, Dr. Carollo has some advice and tips for healthy meals, healthy snacks and dental health:

• When scheduling health care appointments, don't overlook a dental checkup for your child: a dental examination is as important as your child's medical exam and should be a regular part of back-to-school preparations.

• Regular dental checkups and preventive dental care, such as cleanings and fluoride treatment, provide children with "smile" insurance.

• Junk foods and sugar drinks gradually have replaced nutritious beverages and foods for many of our children.

• American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) remind parents that what their children eat, and how often they eat, have a dramatic impact on their oral and overall health.

• Sweetened drinks are the primary source of added sugar in the daily diet of children. One 12-ounce can of soda contains the equivalent of 12 teaspoons of sugar.

• Bottled water is more popular now than ever. but fluoride is not in "Bottle Water". The majority of bottled waters on the market do not contain optimal levels (0.7-1.2 ppm) of fluoride.

• ADA tips to reduce tooth decay:
1) Regular Dental Visits: two times per year!
2) Sugary foods and drinks consumed as part of a meal are less harmful than as a snack. Saliva production increases during meals and helps neutralize acid production and rinse food particles from the mouth.
3) Limit between-meal snacks. If craving a snack. choose nutritious foods and consider chewing sugarless gum afterward. Sugarless gum increases saliva flow and helps wash out food and decay producing acid.
4) Drink more water. Consuming optimally fluoridated water can help prevent tooth decay. If you're choosing bottled water, check the label for fluoride content.
5) Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily

Did You Know That!

• Children and adolesents should have Pit & Fissure Sealants on all their adult back teeth, (pre-molars & molars), to help prevent decay from starting on the biting surfaces of teeth.

• Children should have fluoride in their vitamins from age 2 through age 14 for strong and healthy tooth development? Ask your pediatrician or your dentist about fluoride supplements.

• A good rule of thumb is that when children can dress themselves and tie their own shoes, then they can start brushing on their own but will still need parent’s supervision?

• When there are tight contacts between your child’s teeth, flossing should start early on. Children will need help with flossing and should be done by parents once a day.
