Back-to-School Dental Tips from Elite Smiles Little Chute

As students prepare to head back to school, it's time to prioritize their dental care to ensure a healthy smile throughout the year. You can start by scheduling teeth cleaning before the school year begins.

Our practice has appointments available before the start of the school year, including additional hygiene spots to accommodate as many kids and teachers as possible. To schedule, parents can call 920-735-9366. For those needing visits after the school year begins, we provide excused absence notes for students and adults with work requirements.

There are a few tips to know as the school year starts. If your child received Invisalign or retainers over the summer, they should establish a new routine for the school year. It's important that they bring a toothbrush to school to brush after meals. You should also remind your child to always carry their case with them and always place retainers in the case when they aren't in your mouth.

When it comes to packed lunches, choose whole foods that are low in sugar and require chewing, as they help remove plaque. Avoid high sugar, processed foods and sugary drinks. Students with braces should steer clear of sticky, chewy foods and hard items that require biting with the front teeth.
