Quick Answer: Pack a toothbrush and case, fluoride toothpaste, floss or floss picks, and — if your child has braces or a retainer — wax, a retainer case, and a backup. Add your dentist’s phone number and a note for counselors about any dental needs. The best pre-camp move of all: a checkup before they leave, so no surprise toothaches pop up mid-session.
Summer camp means s’mores, sunscreen, and a duffel bag stuffed with essentials — and the teeth shouldn’t get left behind. At Just for Grins Pediatric Dentistry in Santa Fe, we put together a simple camp dental checklist so your child’s smile stays healthy while they’re off having adventures.
