Early Childhood Caries Case Study

The first action i would take, would be to ask for the schools lunch schedules and test if the food they are serving has a high percentage of fluoride which is the cause of developing mottled teeth. The next step would be to test the public water fountains and test for a high percentage of fluoride as well. Then if either of the two tested positive then i would work to change their dieting schedules then better purifying the water of fluoride. I will then gather information over the next few weeks to see if the number of students with mottled teeth would decrease.

Chronic periodontitis Chronic Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms or groups of specific microorganisms, leading to progressive destruction of the attachment apparatus of the teeth including periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone with periodontal pocket formation, and recession of the gingival tissue(1) . The clinical feature that characterizes periodontitis from gingivitis is the presence of clinically apparent attachment loss. This loss mainly is associated with changes in the density and height of subjacent alveolar bone (1). Severe generalized periodontitis affects 5–15% of any population worldwide and is a major cause of teeth loss after dental caries (2). Chronic Periodontitis also known as adult periodontitis or chronic adult

A: Sodas are full of phosphoric acid and sugars, among other substances, that are not good for your teeth. If you do choose to drink soda, rinsing or brushing afterwards is recommended. Q: What age should my child start seeing a dentist? A: We recommend that a child start with an evaluation and introduction to the office (including a fun ride in the dental chair!)

These acids can erode and reduce the hardness of the enamel that protects your teeth and lead to tooth decay.

(13) Prevalence of H. pylori in Children : Mainly the H. pylori infection occurs during childhood, especially under the age of 5 years, and H. pylori prevalence in the adulthood depends on infection in the childhood. It is important to determine the status of current H. pylori infection in children including prevalence, incidence, and origin of infection because such evidence can be used to expect the incidences of H. pylori-related diseases in the future and can also be incorporated into a prevention strategy for gastric cancer

When I was a little girl, my most prominent trait was my mouth full of crooked, missing, and cavity-filled teeth. Though I was a happy child, so smiling from ear to ear was something I did quite often, though I was very self conscious of my teeth. When I was about 12 years old, my parents finally mustered up enough money to allow for my teeth to finally be fixed. It was then that we decided the rest of my adolescent life would be dedicated to fixing my teeth. Years of drilling, pulling, cleaning, appointments, and being called a ‘brace-face’ would eventually pay off.

Prenatal influences on dental development Shante’ Seals Vatterott Dental Anatomy Courtney Oetting Research shows that there are many prenatal influences on dental development. With one being increased Gonadotropins. Increased Gonadotropins starts with the first trimester it causes the woman to have morning sickness. Nausea and vomiting with very high levels of Progesterone, by a central acting mechanism, slow the gastric emptying.

Written Assignment Week 2 BUS1101 September 12, 2015 I chose to review Kid Dent which is a dental office in New Jersey that specializes in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics as well as special needs patients. In other words, the office caters to children for dentistry and braces. The website did not have an “About Us” page but it did share the office’s vision and mission statements on the website itself within the first few topic options. They stated that they would provide care that is exceptional and with compassion to children, teenagers and special needs patients.

A correlation between lack of dental care or poor dental care can lead to diabetes, heart disease, premature birth, and or problems with births has been identified (Vanderbilt et al,

It intrigues me to learn about the various diseases and conditions that can manifest without proper care taken off a person’s teeth. I think people underestimate the power and overall importance of brushing, and flossing of the teeth on a regular basis. The short time I’ve spent under Ms. Lopez has help emphasize the importance of knowing the anatomy and physiology aspect of the teeth. The knowledge I obtained from shadowing, and numerous hours of online research has help convey to me knowledge on how to better prevent oral

The aim of the experiment was to test different types of soft drink on calcium carbonate marble chips, which were used in place of human teeth, and record what percentage of the marble chips dissolved when it was left in the soft drink overnight. These results will show which of the five soft drinks tested was the most harmful, and the ingredients will be examined to explain why the particular soft drink was the most detrimental to human teeth. Human teeth are covered in a hard substance called tooth enamel, which is made of hydroxyapatite. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body and is vital in protecting teeth from decay (Callison, 2018). Enamel erosion occurs when acids wear away at the teeth and can result in painful temperature sensitivity, discolouration, cracks and chips, and indentations appearing on the teeth, and will result in cavities (Smith, 2013).

Tooth falloff in kids, also referred as early childhood caries, is the most common harmful kid 's disease in the country. In some issues, severe tooth decay can result in tooth loss. It is never too premature to inspire healthy dental hygiene for kids. Your child 's teeth are at risk of decay as soon as they first erupt.

Gum is the leading cause of cavities. I wondered if this is why I had 13 cavities. I learned that the bacteria sitting on your mouth breaks down the sugar in the gum and causes acid, once the acid has been sitting on your teeth for a while it creates a cavity in your tooth. I learned that gum also has a very negative effect on teeth. If gum does cause cavities continuing to chew gum is even worse because most cavities today are filled with mercury and frequent chewing may cause dislodging and releasing of dangerous materials in your metabolism.

Parents should also consider trying and experimenting different flavors so they know exactly what flavor their baby likes! It might be a little confusing when to use a toothbrush. You don’t want to harm your child’s gums by starting to soon, yet you might be concerned about his or her oral hygiene. Well no need to worry, the answer is quite simple: When you see your angel’s first tooth sprouting out, that when you start using a
