Medical Check Up

Going back to school is a great opportunity to have your family medical check-ups. Be sure that your child's immunizations are up to date.

You should also have your child's eyes checked at this time. Poor eyesight without correction can translate to poor performance in the classroom.

Your child should have regular dental visits every 6-9 months to ensure proper dental hygiene and that no problems arise with your child's teeth. Cavities can be prevented by healthy eating habits and routine dental hygiene including brushing and flossing of the teeth.
