While there are several helpful tools available for parents to give their children an edge, there is a simple one you may have never considered: making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccdentalmarion.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental health<\/a> improvements. As you continue reading, your dentist in Marion explains how this can make a positive impact on your child\u2019s performance this school year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Scientists Have Discovered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In an article published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3459270\/\">PubMed<\/a>, researchers concluded that \u201cpreventing and treating dental problems and improving dental health may benefit child academic achievement and cognitive and psychological development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They discovered that students with poor dental health were more prone to demonstrate the following characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>To be less likely to complete assigned homework on time<\/li><li>To be more prone to have behavioral problems at school<\/li><li>To be prone to school absences, missing \u2013 on average \u2013 one more day per year than their peers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, these trends can be reversed and corrected through greater awareness and taking effective action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Improved Dental Health Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the new school year starts, it\u2019s vital to develop and implement a strategy. Therefore, your child won\u2019t have to endure the stress of making dental care changes while adjusting to new classes, teachers and other challenges the upcoming school year may hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some simple tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get on the Typical School Schedule Now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to instill some good dental hygiene habits is to put your child on a modified back-to-school schedule now. You can begin by waking him or her up at the same time you would during the school year. To go a step further, establish a routine for brushing and flossing in the morning and at night before going to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Toothbrushing Fun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your child have a favorite superhero-heroine or television star? If so, take a trip to your local retailer to purchase a toothbrush, toothpaste and other supplies that feature the personality. This can help tremendously in encouraging kids to anticipate and properly perform their dental hygiene. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Present and Engaged<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that children with involved parents tend to do better in school, enjoy the best dental health and flourish in life. By taking the time to monitor your child\u2019s technique when brushing and flossing, you can make important corrections before any bad habits develop and provide the reassurance that you care \u2013 something every child needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Up a Dental Appointment Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not alone in the quest for the best dental health for your child. This is the perfect time to schedule a visit with your local children\u2019s dentist. It will provide a thorough cleaning and examination so you can know for sure what needs to be focused on moving forward. Better yet, an end-of-summer dental visit serves as a great springboard into the new school year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Eric Buck is a graduate of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
