How to get ready for cold and flu season

I’s almost that time again: cold and flu season. With all the coughing, sneezing, aches and fever to fight off, many parents may unknowingly leave their child’s oral health exposed to a number of hazards.  

To keep the cold and flu from sabotaging your child’s smile this year, steer clear of these dental pitfalls:

• Dry mouth due to oral breathing and a stuffy nose
• Sugar-laden cough drops and medicine that can harm teeth
• Forgetting to brush and floss
• Using the same toothbrush after being sick
• Missing a routine dental check-up

For any questions or help with your child’s dental needs between check-ups, don’t hesitate to call us at 302-736-1423. 

Sincerely,

B. James Rogge, DDS
