We love being outdoors as the warm weather makes its way to Chicago. We know the high temperatures are perfect for family time and vacations, but as a kids’ dentist in Lincoln Square, we want to make sure you and your family are staying healthy in the summer to keep your smile bright and clean.
Keep Your Yearly Routine
With summer comes late night activities and summer fun for the kids, but make sure everyone continues to brush their teeth before bedtime and doesn’t skip brushing in the morning—no matter the hour. Brushing twice a day for two minutes with any fluoride toothpaste will help with your child’s oral health (and yours, too)!
Avoid Sugary Drinks And Snacks
Rising temperatures calls for snacking on ice-pops and drinking sports drinks to stay hydrated. Try to stay away from sugary drinks and snacks, or just enjoy them every once in a while. Stick to drinking water to beat the heat and foods that are low in acidity.
Check In With Your Dentist Before School Begins
We recommend coming to the dentist bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings, so what better time to come than before the school year begins? Visiting your dentist is a good way to make sure that your teeth and your children’s teeth are healthy and ready to shine for the new school year.
