Did you know that dental issues are one of the leading causes of school absences in children?
Toothaches, cavities, and other oral health problems can lead to missed school days, difficulty concentrating, and even trouble sleeping. When kids are in pain, their ability to focus, eat nutritious meals, and participate in class can all be affected.
The connection is clear:
- Poor dental health = missed instruction
- Pain = lower concentration & performance
- Embarrassment about teeth = reduced participation
The good news? Most dental issues are preventable with regular care.
✅ Schedule checkups twice a year
✅ Brush and floss daily
✅ Limit sugary snacks and drinks
✅ Address pain or discomfort early
By prioritizing dental health, you’re not just caring for your child’s smile — you’re supporting their success in the classroom and beyond. ??
Let’s keep their smiles (and report cards) shining bright this fall!
