Back to School, Back to Healthy Smiles: Why Oral Care Should Be on Your School Supply List

by

As the school year approaches, you’re likely checking off backpacks, notebooks, and new sneakers. But there’s one important item you might not have added to your back-to-school list: a healthy, protected smile.

While the start of the school year brings new routines and excitement, it’s also a critical time to reinforce daily habits — and that includes oral health.

At RiseWell, we believe that strong, healthy teeth set kids up for success, confidence, and overall wellness. Here’s why clean oral care deserves a top spot on your school supply checklist this year.

Healthy Smiles Support Better Overall Health

Kids RiseWell Toothpaste

Research shows that oral health is closely connected to overall health.
Cavities, gum issues, and poor oral hygiene can affect more than just teeth — they can impact sleep, concentration, and even immune function.

By starting the year with a strong oral care routine, you’re giving your child a real advantage — inside and outside the classroom.

RiseWell’s Kids Mineral Toothpaste is powered by hydroxyapatite, a naturally occurring mineral that remineralizes and whitens enamel — without the harmful ingredients found in many conventional toothpastes. It’s safe enough to swallow and proven to defend against daily sugar and snack attacks.

New Routines = New Opportunities to Build Habits

Back to school is the perfect time to reset routines.
Just like setting a new bedtime or organizing homework space, setting a consistent morning and nighttime brushing routine helps kids build lifelong healthy habits.

Try making oral care part of your family's daily checklist:

✅ Brush for two minutes, twice a day
✅ Floss daily (yes, even kids!)
✅ Use a safe, mineral-rich toothpaste
✅ Avoid rinsing after brushing — let the hydroxyapatite work its magic

RiseWell’s subscription option makes it even easier to keep healthy habits on autopilot — delivered right to your door with 15% savings on every order.

Smiles Are Essential Supplies

Kid Flossing

If you’re stocking up on markers and folders, don’t forget smile essentials:

  • Kids Mineral Toothpaste (or Kids PRO Toothpaste for an extra hydroxyapatite boost)

  • Bamboo Toothbrush (gentle and eco-friendly)

  • Scrubby Floss (fun and effective for tiny hands)

Pro Tip: Create a special "Smile Station" at home with their RiseWell products. When oral care feels fun and easy, kids are more likely to stick with it — even during busy school mornings.
