School holidays are here, and the tip is to entertain the kids during this time and enjoy the summer. Parents need to be extra attentive to the fun moments of the little ones, as any slip-up can turn into a headache.
According to dentist Dr. Marlei Bonella from IOS – Instituto Odontológico, it is very common to see trauma and broken teeth during this period. “Due to falls, we have many cases of broken teeth; it is necessary to be extra careful,” says the dentist.
Additionally, Marlei suggests some basic tips to keep children's oral health in check. “Opt for healthy snacks, encourage the little ones to drink plenty of water, natural juices, and less sugary sodas that can contribute to the appearance of cavities,” she says.
Be careful with sports and recreational activities that expose children to falls, which can cause dental fractures. And most importantly: double the care with their teeth, brush at least three times a day, and use dental floss regularly. Maintaining this simple practice can make a big difference in oral health,” emphasizes Marlei. Take the opportunity to take the kids to the dentist during this break.
