Out of This World Smiles: Keeping Teeth Healthy During Summer Break

Summer is here, school’s out, and adventures are in full swing! From backyard explorations to space-themed getaways like our visit to the Kennedy Space Center, kids are making memories that are truly out of this world.

While we’re busy launching into fun, it’s easy to let daily routines—like brushing and

flossing—slip through the cracks. But a healthy smile is important year-round, especially when sugary snacks, travel schedules, and late nights can sneak in.

Here are a few stellar tips to keep your child’s oral health in orbit during summer vacation:

🚀 Stick to a Routine: Even with late bedtimes and travel, make brushing twice a day

non-negotiable.

🍦 Limit Sugar Attacks: Ice cream and treats are part of the fun—but balance them with water and tooth-friendly snacks.

🦷 Schedule a Checkup: Summer is the perfect time to get in a dental visit before the school year rush.

🎒 Pack Smart: On-the-go? Toss a travel toothbrush and floss in your bag for road trips or

theme park days.

Just like astronauts prep for space, keeping up with dental care ensures your child is ready for any mission—whether it’s exploring the stars or just heading back to school with a bright,

healthy smile!
