Can you believe it's that time again?  Summer always seems to fly and it won't be long until the kids are back to schoo, bringing another fun-filled summer break to a close.

Getting ready for the new school year involves preparation and planning. For many kids, it means new clothes and school supplies.  It’s also a great time for parents to reinforce good health habits, including ways to keep teeth looking and feeling their best.

When compiling this year’s back-to-school list, don’t forget to include a new toothbrush!  There are many new kid-friendly toothbrushes and toothpastes available that help encourage children to brush regularly.  Travel-sized toothbrushes and toothpastes fit easily in backpacks so that kids can brush at school, especially for kids in braces.  And while you’re at it, consider getting one for yourself for the work place.

Summertime is also the perfect time to schedule your child’s regular dental exam. You’ll help kick the school year off right and save the hassle of scheduling a visit to the dentist around school hours and busy after-school activities. Give Grove Dental a call today to schedule your child’s exam. Not only is it an Illinois state requirement*, it’s one of the best ways to keep your child healthy and happy.

*Illinois state law requires mandatory dental exams for school-aged children entering Kindergarten, 2nd and 6tth grades.
