From Nurse Rhea:
February is National Children’s Dental Health month! Do your kids get tired of hearing you ask them if they brushed their teeth? What kids don’t realize is that daily reminders turn into daily routines, and routines turn into habits. An unhealthy mouth, especially gum disease, may increase their risk of serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, and poorly controlled diabetes. Visiting the dentist for a check up and teeth cleaning once every six months, and brushing twice a day can help keep their mouths in tip-top shape! Hopefully these healthy habits will last a lifetime.
If you are the parent of a current 6th grade student, please remember that the Tdap vaccine is required for entry into the 7th grade. Documentation of this vaccine can be sent in at any time, and will alleviate some of the stress of starting a new school year in the Fall.
