School\u2019s finally in full swing again, and that means you\u2019ll have new academic goals, sporting events, and nutritional concerns to think about.\u00a0\u00a0 And although juggling all of these responsibilities can seem challenging, with a little effort you can make this year both healthy and safe.<\/p>\n

Everyone looks forward to Friday night football, and the start of a new school year means football games are back. \u00a0But whether your child\u2019s out there in the huddle or is involved in a different sport, like soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, or softball, a mouth guard<\/a> is important. Besides protecting teeth, mouth guards<\/strong> can also protect an athlete\u2019s lips, tongue, jaw, and face. What\u2019s more, they can even reduce the severity of concussions. Make sure your child is protected with a custom-fitted mouth guard from our Clinton Township office.\u00a0 This type of appliance is made by a professional lab to protect teeth while allowing the jaw to rest in a proper position during game play.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget to keep your athletes healthy with nutritious school lunches!\u00a0 Even if your child buys one at school instead of taking one, you need to make sure he or she is eating right. Nothing\u2019s wrong with a cookie or two, but lunches high in sugar and empty carbs can wreak havoc on teeth.<\/p>\n

Now that your schedule is even more demanding, it is crucial to remember to take time for yourself!\u00a0 Here are some of our tips for keeping your sanity:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Create room to write notes in the margin!<\/p>\n

Spending an extra 20-30 minutes before bed reading your favorite book, mag or surfing the net to de-stress.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tune out!<\/p>\n

DVR your favorite TV shows so that you can enjoy one at least twice a week, whenever you can sneak it in.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get Active:<\/p>\n

Even 30 minutes of physical activity per week can significantly decrease stress.\u00a0 Even walking store to store in your favorite shopping mall counts!<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Keep Dinner Sacred:<\/p>\n

Cell phones stowed away please!\u00a0 Spend the few moments at the dinner table as a family enjoying a meal and chatting about the daily events.\u00a0 It may be the only chance you get!<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Automate Bill Pay!<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t done this yet it is a must.\u00a0 Get one more thing off of your list. Spend a few hours with your banking institution or directly with the companies to schedule automatic debits or checks issued on the same date every month.\u00a0 That way things are always paid on time and it is one less hassle.<\/p>\n

Ok now\u2026what are your ideas?!\u00a0 Let\u2019s get involved in helping each other out! Please post below some of your tips and tricks for surviving the school year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
