Learn Your Health History!!! Your child is an ADULT now!!

📋 Can You Answer These Questions?

Before leaving for college, every graduate should know:
• Current medications and dosages
• Allergies to medications and/or foods
• Chronic medical conditions
• Family emergency contacts (all of them: with addresses and phone numbers)
• Health insurance information (Will they still be on Medicaid at the age of 18?)

If you had to visit a clinic tomorrow, would you know the answers?

If you had to visit a clinic tomorrow, where would they go? Parents, set up primary care doctors in your child’s university town/city. If you don’t know one, ask Dr J!!

Being informed is part of becoming independent.

Don’t Forget Your Vaccines!!!

💉 College Dorms = Close Living Quarters

Living with hundreds of students can increase exposure to illnesses.

Talk to your pediatrician about:
✔️ Meningococcal vaccines
✔️ Meningitis B vaccine
✔️ Tdap booster
✔️ Annual flu vaccine
✔️ COVID-19 vaccine

Look, your child will be living a part from you and some of you can’t drive and take them to a doctor at the drop of a hat (but I know some of y’all will 😂).

Vaccines help protect you and your new college community.

Your Child’s Smile = Whole Body Health 😊❤️

Oral health is connected to overall health!

Cavities Are Common — But Preventable! 🚫🦠

Did you know cavities are one of the most common chronic childhood conditions? 🧐

The good news: most cavities can be PREVENTED with:
🪥 Daily brushing
🧵 Flossing
🥦 Healthy eating habits
🥤 Limiting sugary drinks/snacks
🦷 Regular dental visits
💧 Fluoride use

Avoid putting babies to bed with juice or milk bottles — this can increase tooth decay.

Small daily habits make a BIG difference!

Why Fluoride Matters 💧🦷

Fluoride is one of the BEST tools we have to prevent cavities in children.

Fluoride helps:
✔️ Strengthen tooth enamel
✔️ Prevent tooth decay
✔️ Repair early damage before cavities form

Fluoride is safe and effective when used correctly and is recommended by pediatricians and dentists.

Ways children get fluoride:
💧 Drinking water
🪥 Fluoride toothpaste
🦷 Fluoride treatments at the dentist or pediatric office

Protect those growing smiles early!

Brushing Basics for Kids 🪥😁

Good brushing habits start at home!

✔️ Brush TWICE daily
✔️ Use a soft toothbrush
✔️ Brush for 2 minutes
✔️ Parents should help young children brush until about age 7–8

Toothpaste tips:
👶 Under age 3: rice-sized smear of fluoride toothpaste
🧒 Ages 3+: pea-sized amount

Make brushing FUN:
🎵 Play music
⏰ Use a timer
⭐ Reward consistency, not perfection

Healthy smiles begin with healthy routines!

Baby Teeth Matter 🦷✨

Baby teeth are more important than many people realize! They help children:
• Eat and chew properly 😬
• Speak clearly
• Hold space for adult teeth
• Build confidence with healthy smiles😁

Cavities in baby teeth can lead to pain, infections, missed school days, and trouble eating or sleeping. Healthy habits should start EARLY — even before the first birthday!

📌 First dental visit: by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth erupting.
