Quiz: Dental Care For Your Kids In College

Posted by

When your kids finish packing up, head to the dorms, and then you realize they’re actually all grown up, one thing that hits you suddenly includes the following question: What about their smile health? Who does what at this point? They’re not actually living 100 percent independent lives, they have never scheduled a dental visit ever, and you can’t still sneak into the bathroom just to see if their toothbrush bristles are wet (not that you would ever do such a thing). Don’t worry. Try a quick quiz and you’ll feel equipped with a ton of oral health solutions.

Quiz Questions: True or False?

  1. True or False: If your child is heading out of town a considerable distance for college, it’s a wise decision to locate a dentist that they may visit in their new city when necessary.
  2. True or False: We encourage parents to check on the details of their insurance. It is essential to ensure children in college are still covered by parents’ benefits or to secure new dental coverage.
  3. True or False: Once your children are in college, it’s no longer appropriate to check in with them about whether they’re brushing and flossing their teeth on a regular basis to promote excellent oral health.

Quiz Answers

  1. True. This is a very good idea. While we still suggest bringing your child to see us when they are in town, securing a local dentist for their oral health needs means they have somewhere to go in case they require urgent care.
  2. True. Remember that your child’s dental care benefits might stop at 18. Double check the details, so your son or daughter can continue receiving professional dental services without fail!
  3. False. Nobody else is going to ask! Checking in about such details is most certainly to their benefit.
