From lunch to sports to surprise snacks, your child’s teeth go through a lot during the average school day. Having a simple dental kit on hand provides them with the tools they need to ensure that their mouths are always clean and fresh, even when they’re not at home. At Bonita Grande Dental, we’re firm believers in prevention and simple, comfortable routines that support lifelong oral health and confidence, starting at a young age.
Must-Haves for a Smile-Ready School Day
Here’s what Dr. Michael Gostigian and our expert team here at Bonita Grande Dental recommend including in every child’s school dental kit:
- Floss picks — Easy to use and perfect for post-lunch cleanup, especially for kids with braces.
- Travel toothbrush and toothpaste — Compact and handy for a quick, refreshing brush after meals.
- SPF lip balm — It’s easy to forget about lip health—don’t! A lip balm with sun protection helps keep your kids’ lips from getting dry or sunburned.
- Braces wax — A must for kids with brackets to help relieve discomfort from poking wires during class.
- Mini pain reliever — With school approval, this can provide quick relief for minor tooth or jaw discomfort.
When preparing a child’s school dental kit, organization is key. So, make sure all of this fits neatly into a small pouch that they can slip right into their backpack.
