Those long summer nights are quickly coming to an end, and soon the weather will become crisper and the trees more colorful. With the changing of the leaves comes the school season. But before the kids head back to class, Dental Clinic of Onalaska, the pediatric and family dentist center to turn to in Wisconsin, has two valuable dental hygiene tips for parents to teach their kids. 

• Make a Routine Dental Exam Right Before School Starts: It is recommended by dental professionals for both children and adults to have two dental checkups and cleanings a year. For kids, there is no better time to schedule one of those appointments with Dental Clinic of Onalaska than before heading back to school. Parents will be assured their kids are returning to school with a clean bill of health, and kids will learn the importance of staying on top of their dental health. 

• Talk About Dental Health Care: Children are naturally inquisitive, so the next time one of the youngsters has a question about dental health, be open to discussing it. Dental Health Clinic of Onalaska is more than happy to educate young ones on why it is so important to floss and brush daily, eat healthy, and visit the dentist twice per year. The more they know, the easier it will be for them to form healthy habits.
