School will be back in session soon, as summer vacation is winding down. At this time of year, many of you are making a back-to-school checklist for your kids. New clothes and school supplies are a given. But have you given any thought to their dental care? More than 156 million school hours are missed nationwide due to dental disease.
While you're making back-to-school plans, plan on bringing your kids in for a visit. And for extra credit, try these fun tips for sending them to school with a smile:
- Buy new toothbrushes: While they're getting new notebooks, pens and other supplies, why not let them pick out a new toothbrush? Pick up two - one for home and one for school.
- Make a dental care kit for school: To encourage them to brush after lunch and snacks, buy a zippered plastic-lined bag and include a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss.
- Pack dental-friendly lunches and snacks: Fruit, nuts, string cheese and bottled water are all good choices. Avoid sticky foods like raisins and fruit snacks as they can cause tooth decay.
Make it a great day, Dr. Philip Hornseth, Dr. Erin Curless and Dental Team |

Student Status
Do you have a child going off to college? If so, please call your dental insurance company to request a student status form to fill out for your child. Often they request this form and proof of student status with a tuition receipt or class schedule to show they are in college. Insurance will deny payment unless this information is on record.
