The dangers of daily and intermittent sun exposure are real and lead to significant health issues for many world wide. Make sunscreen part of your morning routine. You probably wouldn't leave home without brushing your teeth, so don't start your daily activities without protecting your skin. You'll prevent skin cancer - which most would agree is more important that preventing tooth decay.
Introduce the same practice to your children when they are young, and they will adopt it as a normal step in the "get up, get dressed, brush hair, brush teeth, eat breakfast" morning events. And don't forget to stash an extra bottle in your purse, glove box, or diaper bag to reapply midday or when unexpected exposure surprises you.
