A new school year is about. While parents are busy making sure their kids have all of the necessary school supplies, parents should remember to take the time to prioritize their child’s health as the school year begins.

Miami, FL -- (SBWire) -- 08/08/2019 --Children should pay a visit to the dentist a minimum of twice a year to ensure their oral health is in good shape and to have their teeth cleaned. Being proactive means a child does not have to miss school due to a toothache or tooth decay.

A child's bright, white smile involves a healthy diet and taking a balanced lunch to school. If the child eats lunch at the school, parents should encourage them on healthy and inspire them to make educated choices. Vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains, all of these can help keep the teeth and body in tip-top shape.

Brushing and flossing every day is imperative, and this should be included in a child's daily routine. Plaque may build up between the teeth because of food particles, which may lead to gum disease or tooth decay. Brushing in the morning and the evening with a soft-bristled brush keeps the mouth clean.
