In particular, many are helping their kids buy new supplies, learn class schedules, and prepare for coursework. However, there&#8217;s another way to give your youngsters an edge this semester: Have them visit the local children\u2019s dentist for treatment! As it turns out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springhettidentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html#childrens\">good oral health<\/a> can translate to good school grades. To learn more, here\u2019s a summary of the connection between healthy teeth and academic success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Could a Good Smile Lead to Straight A\u2019s?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing well in school depends on student focus. After all, you can\u2019t expect kids to excel if they can\u2019t pay attention to their assignments or class lectures. Constant distractions would take away from their ability to learn and perform as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it seems poor oral health can cause such distractions. In a 2012 study published by the Journal of Pediatrics, researchers found that dental conditions lead to poor schoolwork. Because tooth and gum problems can be painful and distracting, they make kids miss school, have classroom issues, and skip homework. Even worse, having unhealthy smiles can reduce their motivation, triggering feelings of unhappiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back-to-School Oral Health Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want your child\u2019s teeth to conflict with school, ensure they get the proper care. Do so by considering the following tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit the Children\u2019s Dentist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the days before school fully starts, have your tyke get a dental checkup. A dentist can examine, diagnose, and treat any tooth-related problems they might have. Not only would that lead to a better-looking smile, but it\u2019d also head off oral health issues that could distract from classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Involved in Their Dental Routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider teaching your child about brushing and flossing with a fun approach. By relying on visual and verbal cues, you could show them that teeth cleaning is essential and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example is the so-called \u201cTell Show Do\u201d method. Put simply, it has you *tell* your kid how to brush and floss, *show* them how it\u2019s done, and *do* help them try it themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack Mouth-Healthy Lunches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>School lunches with excess sugar will only hurt your student\u2019s teeth. More specifically, the sugary foods will create acids that erode their tooth enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, pack nutritious foods for your child\u2019s lunch. Good examples are products high in protein, fiber, and dairy \u2014 think meat, cheese, and fresh fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s obviously no substitute for studying when it comes to school. Still, tips like those above will give your child a smile that doesn\u2019t get in the way of excellent academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.springhettidentistry.com\/\">Springhetti Dentistry<\/a> is based in Carmel, IN.
