With a packed back-to-school schedule, one of the things that often falls by the wayside is thinking about our kids' oral health. Each year children lose valuable days of school due to issues with their teeth. On average, 34 million school hours are lost each year because of unplanned (emergency) dental care, according to the CDC.
