August 2020: Tips, eNews & More!

It's August and summer is in full swing! Before we start to think about fall, take time to savour the summer warmth and sun. Take it all in. Use the weekends to kick back, relax, and have fun with friends and family (in your bubble or at an appropriate distance!). Why not have a summer barbecue, campfire, or spend a day at the beach? As you indulge in those yummy treats like ice pops and s'mores, don't forget to floss and brush your teeth twice per day for two minutes to prevent tooth decay and cavities.

August is also the month to start preparing kids for their return to school. With classes looking very different this year, it's important to take extra steps to keep your kids on top of their schoolwork and health! Cross oral health off your list of concerns by booking a regular check-up or a semi-annual cleaning for your child. Our team will ensure that your child starts the school year feeling confident and healthy with a refreshed smile. Check out our article below about going Back-to-School During a Pandemic. As we continue to find ways to enjoy the warm weather and get used to new routines, make every moment count. We hope you have a safe and happy rest of the summer!
