Early Oral Health
The journey to having healthy teeth for life begins even before birth. What can you do, both during and after pregnancy, to help your child get off to a great start? This session will cover steps to take during pregnancy to keep gums and teeth healthy, how a mother’s oral health can affect her baby, caring for infant and toddler teeth (and making it fun), nutrition for healthy teeth, and cavity prevention. Dr. Femina Ali of Wellesley Dental Group will also answer some of the most common questions on bottle use, teething, dental injuries, and pacifier use.
Your child first visit to dentist!
The document discusses recommendations for a child's first dental visit. It is recommended that children have their first dental visit at around 1 year of age so the dentist can examine their mouth development and protect against early dental problems. Parents should prepare their child by explaining what to expect at the appointment and building excitement. The first visit will likely involve a gentle examination, cleaning, and establishing a relationship between the child and dentist, with the goal of making future visits less frightening. Regular dental checkups every 6 months are important for children's oral health.

The dental home
This document discusses early childhood oral health and the importance of establishing a dental home. It provides definitions of early childhood caries and the dental home. Untreated dental caries in young children can negatively impact general health and quality of life. The dental home aims to provide comprehensive and family-centered oral healthcare beginning no later than 12 months of age through activities like preventive services, risk assessments, anticipatory guidance, and referrals to specialists when needed.
Infant oral health care program
This document outlines an infant oral health program to prevent early childhood caries. It recommends seeing infants early to conduct a caries risk assessment and follow guidelines for first dental visits. During exams, dentists should look for plaque, inflammation, stain and decay, and provide prophylaxis with fluoride or ART as needed. It identifies risk factors for caries and recommends benign floral enhancement involving treating the mother's oral health issues preconception, modifying diets, using xylitol gum and fluoride for mothers and infants, and recalls based on caries risk.
Dental public clinics: Challenges and Successes
The Population and Public Health Dental Clinic began in 1995 as a pilot project serving 5 high-risk schools, and became a permanent program in 1998. The clinic sees children with poor oral health and limited dental coverage, and aims to complete a full treatment plan in 5-8 appointments to restore their oral health before discharging them. The clinic faces challenges like language barriers, managing patient behavior, providing nutritional education, and ensuring follow-up care after complex treatments. However, it has also found success in completing treatments and improving patients' oral health stories.
Tooth Decay in Children
Over a quarter of five-year-olds in the UK suffer from tooth decay – but fewer than ten percent of those children have been treated. It is important for your children to get into good habits early when it comes to their oral health. Dental problems can seriously affect them for the rest of their life, leading to pain, discomfort, and years of expensive medical procedures. With dental care free on the NHS until the age of 18, there really is no reason for a child’s teeth to be neglected.
Like so many aspects of a child’s development, the early stages are vital. It is better to prevent tooth decay than to cure it, and the sooner you set things in place, the quicker everything will become part of their daily routine.
So, get your child brushing! They’ll definitely thank you later when they have all their teeth in later life.
Better oral health in long term care: Best practice standards for saskatchewa...
This document outlines standards for oral health care in long-term care facilities in Saskatchewan. It describes establishing an oral health care team to perform assessments, create individualized care plans, and provide daily oral hygiene. The team includes an oral health coordinator who trains staff. Three levels of education are described. Key responsibilities of the team include assessments, care plans, daily care, and referrals. The goals are to maintain residents' oral health and quality of life. Some facilities have adopted the standards, and training modules are available to expand implementation.
Prenatal and infant oral health
Prenatal and infant oral health is important. Gum disease in pregnant women can lead to premature and low-birthweight babies due to bacteria spreading to the fetus. Babies can get cavity-causing bacteria from their parents through various behaviors. Parents should see the dentist before and during pregnancy to reduce risks. Cavities are the most common childhood disease. Baby teeth should be cared for as they guide permanent teeth and affect development. The first dental visit should be when the first tooth erupts.
The Importance of Regular Dental Clinic Visits
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.

ParkRidge Centre Oral Health Journey
This document outlines the implementation of an oral health program at Parkridge Centre, a long-term care facility in Saskatoon. It describes how dental health educators provided initial oral health assessments and care plans for residents in 2014. Clinical nurse educators then trained staff on proper oral care techniques. Six months later, follow-up assessments showed plaque had decreased with daily care. The program expanded to all neighborhoods, and champions were selected to provide ongoing training. Standards were developed covering various oral care scenarios. While consistency remains challenging, lessons learned emphasize the importance of ongoing education, auditing, and champion support to fully establish good oral health practices.
Child dental care tips
The human body functions with various organs responsible for performing different functions. But the mouth stands as an important part of the body. Teeth are very important to the human body. It is due to them that we can chew our food and obtain essential nutrients for our bodies. Therefore, teeth require extra dental care, especially when it comes to children or kids.
Early Orthodontic Treatment Benefits Your Child
Early orthodontic treatment benefits a child's developing smile in several ways. Misalignment of teeth can lead to poor facial development and health issues like sleep problems. Orthodontic treatment can address misaligned teeth, improper jaw formation, and other dental issues. This helps guide proper tooth eruption and jaw growth. It may also help with problems like teeth grinding and bedwetting. Seeing an orthodontist by age seven allows them to monitor a child's development and plan any needed treatment. Orthodontic treatment is generally done in two phases, with phase one from ages 8-9 focusing on habits and alignment, and phase two using braces from ages 11-15 to position teeth.
Early Oral Health
"Early Oral Health" and what parents need to know discusses some of the ways to help your children's oral health, even before they are born. Presented for the first time at Isis Maternity in Needham, MA by Dr. Femina Ali.
Infant oral health care
This document discusses infant oral health care and the importance of establishing a dental home. It outlines goals such as educating parents and conducting risk assessments. Key concepts covered include anticipatory guidance to discuss topics like teething and nutrition. The document provides guidance on infant oral exams, cleaning techniques, weaning, and establishing relationships with pediatricians to monitor oral health. Overall it emphasizes the foundation good oral health practices in infancy provide for lifetime oral health.
Infant oral health care
Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition for infants. Colostrum produced in the first few days after birth is higher in protein and electrolytes compared to mature breast milk produced after 3 weeks. Breast milk supports the infant's oral health by protecting against colonization of cariogenic bacteria and reducing the risk of early childhood caries, especially if nocturnal breastfeeding is avoided after teeth erupt. Diet counseling during infant oral health visits focuses on appropriate breastfeeding and weaning practices, use of bottles, and dietary fluoride supplementation based on water fluoride levels.
Better Oral Health in Long Term Care
The document outlines the goals and strategies developed by Saskatchewan oral health professions to improve oral health care standards in long term care facilities. It describes the collaboration between different oral health organizations to create educational modules and a long term care strategy. The strategy aims to ensure regular oral assessments, daily oral hygiene, individual oral health plans, and access to dental treatment for all long term care residents. It also goals to incorporate the strategy into health education and establish an oral health coordinator in each health region.
Dental home
The document defines a dental home as an ongoing relationship between a dentist and patient that provides comprehensive, accessible, and family-centered oral healthcare from infancy through adolescence. A dental home has characteristics like being accessible in the community, family-centered, providing unbiased information continuously, and being comprehensive, coordinated, and compassionate. When a parent or caregiver approaches a dental home, the dentist will take a history, do an examination, and do a risk assessment to enhance the dentist's ability to assist the child and family with optimal oral healthcare.
Dental home Pediatrics
Early childhood dental caries occurs in all racial and socioeconomic groups; however, it tends to be more prevalent in children in families belonging to the low-income group, where it is seen in epidemic proportions. Dental caries results from an overgrowth of specific organisms that are a part of normally occurring human flora. Human dental flora is site specific, and an infant is not colonized until the eruption of the primary dentition at approximately 6 to 30 months of age. The most likely source of inoculation of an infant's dental flora is the mother, or another intimate care provider, shared utensils, etc. Decreasing the level of cariogenic organisms in the mother's dental flora at the time of colonization can significantly impact the child's redisposition to caries. To prevent caries in children, high-risk individuals must be identified at an early age (preferably high-risk mothers during prenatal care), and aggressive strategies should be adopted, including anticipatory guidance, behavior modifications (oral hygiene and feeding practices), and establishment of a dental home by 1 year of age for children deemed at risk.
A smile can last a lifetime
1) Tooth decay is more common in U.S. children than asthma or hay fever and poses a significant threat to their health.
2) The U.S. Surgeon General unveiled seven steps for keeping teeth healthy, including brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, visiting the dentist regularly, flossing daily, and using fluoride rinse.
3) Through its Bright Smiles, Bright Futures program, Colgate has provided dental screenings, treatment referrals and education to over 50 million children worldwide.
Population and Public Health Dental Clinic
The Population and Public Health Dental Clinic began as a pilot project in 1995 to serve high-risk schools, and became a permanent clinic to provide dental care for children experiencing poor oral health without insurance. The clinic sees each child for a single full treatment plan of 5-8 appointments to restore their oral health, provides education on oral health and nutrition, and helps families connect with community dental services upon discharge. The clinic faces challenges of language barriers, behavior management, ensuring nutritional education takes hold, dealing with severe dental issues, and ensuring follow-up care after treatment.
Canada's tooth fairy update
Canada's ToothFairy is dedicated to eliminating children's pain from preventable dental disease and improving quality of life. It serves as an educator about oral health, a preventer of disease through materials and fluoride/sealants, and a protector of children. The organization partners with groups like the Saskatchewan Oral Health Coalition and Saskatchewan Dental Hygienists' Association to deliver programs that expand access to care, education, and promote wellness for underserved children. In Saskatchewan, it runs an Oral Health Zone program and SMILE Drive to collect donations and address high rates of dental disease and limited access to care for vulnerable groups.

An oral health promotion program called Text4Tots uses mobile messaging to educate parents on proper oral hygiene for children ages 2-5. A study recruited 15 parents who received 3 tailored text messages per day for 14 days with tips on brushing, flossing, dentist visits etc. Surveys found oral health knowledge and behaviors increased, with more parents brushing children's teeth twice daily and checking for cavities. The personalized mobile intervention was effective but could be improved with automated messages and interactive components to further engage parents.
Text4totsconcept
The Text4Tots program aimed to reduce cavities in children ages 2-5 through a text messaging campaign providing oral health education and reminders to parents. It sent 4 texts per day using the Health Belief Model to address parents' perceptions and encourage brushing behaviors. Morning, afternoon and evening texts provided tips, activities and reminders. Parents reported brushing more frequently after the program. Suggested improvements included a more customized delivery schedule and adding responses/messages about flossing.

It begins by outlining the problem of tooth decay in young children, describing it as the most common childhood disease. It then covers five oral health standards and associated target messages for pregnant women and families with young children. These address the importance of baby teeth, establishing dental homes, proper oral hygiene techniques, the impact of nutrition on oral health, and the benefits of fluoride. The document aims to equip home visitors, childcare providers, and community workers with the knowledge and resources to effectively support improved preventive oral health in high-risk populations.Tooth brushingpart4 final
This document describes a text messaging program called Text4Tots that aimed to promote twice daily tooth brushing among toddlers. It provided tips, facts and reminders to caregivers over text message using health behavior models. An evaluation found the program increased tooth brushing rates and caregiver self-efficacy, though some barriers remained. Lessons included tailoring the program more to individual needs and adding interactivity to reinforce messages.
EmreBATIER.graduation thesis
In a study of 3-6 year old children's toothbrush preferences:
- Children were shown wooden models of different colors and shapes and asked to select three in each of two rounds.
- In the first round, the most popular selection was a yellow rectangular shape, followed by a red convex shape and red cylinder.
- Overall, red was the most preferred color, followed by blue and yellow. The most preferred shape was rectangular, followed by cylinder, convex, and concave.
- The results provide insight into children's perceptions of color and form that can help design more engaging toothbrush products for young children.

ECC can have negative health, psychological, and social consequences if left untreated. It prevalence varies globally but affects a significant portion of children worldwide, especially those from disadvantaged populations. Prevention is key, which requires awareness, education, and a multi-pronged collaborative approach among various stakeholders including pediatricians, dentists, parents, and the dental industry.

What Kind of an Example Do You Set?
Children learn from watching the behaviors of their parents. It is important for parents to set a good example with their own oral health routines like brushing and flossing daily. Parents should bring their children to dental visits so they are not afraid of the dentist. They should also openly discuss oral health and praise their children for developing good habits. Leading by example is the best way for parents to promote successful smiles in their children.
Dental home never too early
