This document discusses managing challenging behaviors in early childhood education settings. It emphasizes using the teaching pyramid model to promote positive behaviors through supportive relationships and preventative strategies. For children exhibiting challenging behaviors, the document recommends collecting observational data to understand the triggers and functions of behaviors before developing individualized intervention plans implemented consistently across settings and with family involvement. Effective plans address the underlying reasons for behaviors and teach replacement skills rather than punishing.
Regular dental visits every six months are important for oral and overall health. Visiting the dentist helps prevent cavities and gum disease, detect problems early, create treatment plans, and improve oral health. Basic dental care through brushing, flossing and regular checkups can prevent costly procedures down the line by addressing issues before they become serious. It is also recommended that children see the dentist as soon as their first tooth appears to promote proper chewing, nutrition, speech development and a healthy smile.
The document discusses preventive dentistry and dental public health. It defines dental public health as using organized community efforts to prevent and control dental diseases and promote dental health. The goals of preventive dentistry are to prevent factors that cause oral diseases, the diseases themselves, worsening of diseases, complications, and disability from diseases. Risk assessment is important to identify individuals at high risk for diseases like caries so preventive measures can be targeted effectively. Prevention occurs at three levels - primary (before disease starts), secondary (early diagnosis and treatment), and tertiary (limiting disability and rehabilitation).
