😁🪥 Children’s Dental Health Month: A Healthy Smile Starts Early! 🪥😁

Good oral health is about more than just a bright smile. It’s an important part of a child’s overall health! Helping kids build healthy habits now can make a lifetime of difference:
✨ Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
✨ Floss daily
✨ Eat healthy foods and limit sugary drinks
✨ Visit the dentist regularly

A healthy mouth helps kids feel better, eat better, and smile brighter! 😁
Take care of little smiles. They’re some of the best parts of growing up. 💙

🩺 What is HPV and why is it a problem?

HPV (human papillomavirus) is a very common virus that can affect both males and females. While many HPV infections go away on their own, some types can lead to serious health problems, including certain cancers later in life. The good news? The HPV vaccine can help prevent it.

Learn more about HPV and the vaccine here:

📱 Media & Your Child: The Good and the Risky

Media can help kids connect, create, and learn, but too much can lead to sleep issues, behavior problems, and even early exposure to drugs, alcohol, or inappropriate content.

👀 What can you do?
✅ Talk openly about media and safety
✅ Monitor apps and screen time
✅ Watch and play together
✅ Set family rules and be a good role model

A balanced approach can help kids stay safe, healthy, and connected.
