The document discusses the pros and cons of using pacifiers. The pros are that pacifiers may soothe fussy babies by satisfying their suck reflex, offer distraction during procedures, and help babies fall asleep. Pacifiers may also reduce the risk of SIDS and are disposable. However, early pacifier use may interfere with breastfeeding and cause babies to become dependent on the pacifier. Prolonged use could also lead to dental or ear problems.

Pacifier &Thumb sucking is it good or bad?
Many parents and doctors express concern over their child's thumb sucking or use of a pacifier. Often worried about affects on teeth and language development In fact, it has been shown that embryos actually suck on their thumbs while in the mother's womb. Thumb sucking and pacifier use both help children become comfortable with their environment, as well as offer children a sense of security. Most children should grow out of thumbsucking and pacifier use by age 3 or 4. As long as the habit is discontinued before their permanent teeth come in (around ages 4-5) your child will be fine. If, however, they continue this habit as their permanent teeth come in it is best to help your child discontinue their habit.
In this presentation we will put spotlight on advantages and disadvantages of both pacifiers & thumb sucking trying to answer is it good or bad?

Deforming oral habits are learned repetitive behaviors with no functional purpose that can lead to malocclusion. Common harmful oral habits discussed in the document include thumb sucking, mouth breathing, nail biting, and tongue thrusting. These oral habits become unconscious over time and can cause dental issues depending on factors like age and frequency. For example, thumb sucking is normal for young children but considered abnormal past age 3-4 and can result in issues like an open bite and crossbite if persistent. Studies have found correlations between oral habits and malocclusion in both deciduous and permanent dentition.

Teething is the process of primary teeth erupting through the gums between 5-7 months of age. While teething can cause local irritation and inflammation, there is no conclusive evidence that it leads to systemic issues like fever, diarrhea or vomiting. Teething symptoms are generally mild and self-limiting, resolving within 1-2 days with teethers, analgesics and topical teething gels. In rare cases, teething symptoms could be associated with other conditions like herpes simplex infection. Proper oral hygiene and use of approved teething aids can help relieve minor discomfort from teething.
Nearly 12% of children ages 6-19 have noise-induced hearing loss. Approximately 12,000 babies are born with hearing loss each year in the United States. Hearing loss can delay language development if not addressed early on. Some causes of hearing loss in children, like ear infections, are temporary if treated promptly but can become permanent if ignored. Early identification and treatment of hearing loss leads to better language outcomes for children. Permanent noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented by using hearing protection for loud noises. Parents should monitor their children for signs of hearing loss.
The document discusses the Healthy Start System, a non-pharmaceutical and non-surgical treatment for sleep disordered breathing in children delivered by trained dentists. The system uses oral appliances worn a few hours a day to widen the dental arches and jaw, encourage nasal breathing, and straighten teeth naturally. Left untreated, conditions like sleep apnea, ADHD, and crowded teeth can persist and prevent proper growth. Conventional treatments only address symptoms, not the root cause of a compromised airway. The Healthy Start System promotes airway development and addresses both dental and breathing issues to allow children to reach their full potential.
Oral habits - Thumb Sucking and Tongue ThrustingAjay Agrawal
Thumb sucking and tongue thrusting are common oral habits in children that can lead to dental issues if continued long term. Thumb sucking is normal in infants but considered abnormal past age 3. It is classified based on factors like the digit position and muscle contractions. Prolonged thumb sucking can cause dental malocclusions like open bite and protruded front teeth. Tongue thrusting involves abnormal tongue positioning and can also influence dental alignment. Treatment involves addressing the psychological factors, positive reinforcement, or applying bitter agents to discourage the habits. Early intervention is emphasized to prevent long-term dental complications.
The document provides guidance on a child's first dental visit. It recommends that the first visit should occur within 6 months of the eruption of the first primary tooth and no later than 12 months of age. The goals of the first visit are to familiarize the child with the dental environment, address parental anxiety, improve oral hygiene, provide preventative care and identify risks. It provides tips for making the dental office child-friendly and establishing trust with the child and parents. A thorough examination is conducted along with developing an individualized treatment plan focusing on prevention and gradual acclimation to care.
This document provides tips for encouraging self-feeding in children. It advises starting with hand feeding by placing small, easy to grab foods near the child to develop their grasping skills. Once grasping is established, utensils can be introduced by guiding the child's hand. It also recommends staying close during meals to monitor eating style and amount, looking out for choking vs gagging, embracing the messiness of learning, and having family meals for observation and imitation. The conclusion restates making items age appropriate and seeking advice from occupational therapists.
The document summarizes infant development in the first year of life. It breaks development down into physical, intellectual, and social/emotional categories for each 3 month period. Infants grow rapidly, gaining skills like lifting their heads, grasping objects, rolling over, crawling, walking, and learning through their senses. Caregivers can encourage development by providing stimulation, interaction, and allowing infants to explore on their own. It is remarkable how much growth and learning occurs within the first year of a child's life.
The document provides guidance for conducting school physical examinations, including procedures to check vision, height/weight, blood pressure, scalp, eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, spine, skin, lymphatics, and dental health. Key points emphasized are notifying parents/physicians of any abnormalities, using gentle examination techniques, and focusing on preventive health education and screening for common issues in children.
This document discusses infant development from birth to 12 months across physical, emotional/social, language, cognitive, and cultural domains. It outlines typical milestones at 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. Physical development progresses from reflexes at birth to walking by 12 months. Emotionally, infants develop trust and the ability to communicate needs through crying and smiling. Language advances from babbling to first words. Cognitive skills grow from exploring with mouth to pretend play. Cultural factors can also influence development.
Hearing loss in children can have profound effects on their development, communication skills, language abilities, education, and overall quality of life. It can be caused by genetic factors, age, or temporary issues that resolve or cause permanent damage. While sometimes mild at first, hearing loss can worsen if not addressed. Hearing aids are recommended to help children hear more clearly in various situations and participate fully without feeling guilty or abused. They are discreet devices that can be worn behind or in the ear. The Audiology Clinic Dublin specializes in diagnosing and treating hearing disorders in children and adults.
Working with families to promote healthy behaviorsErin Olson
The document discusses strategies that child care staff can use to communicate with families about promoting healthy behaviors at home, such as sending informational handouts, holding parent workshops, and speaking with parents during drop-off and pick-up. It provides tips and recommendations for encouraging healthy eating, increasing physical activity, and limiting screen time with families. The goal is for child care staff to support families through positive encouragement and by focusing on specific, achievable goals.
Five Amazing Facts about Hearing Problems among KidsImaginears, Inc.
Be sure to ask your hearing specialist or audiologist for a more conclusive list of signs and symptoms to watch for, as well as his/her recommendation on when your child should have a professional hearing screening.
WHO estimates that globally the number of people with hearing loss, defined as a loss of more than 40 dB on the hearing loss scale (> 40 dB HL), has more than doubled from 120 million in 1995 to at least 278 million in 2005, thus making this condition the most prevalent sensory deficit in the population.1–3 Permanent hearing loss can occur at any age but about 25% of the current burden is of childhood onset. Annually, up to 6 per 1000 live-born infants, or 798 000 babies worldwide, suffer permanent hearing loss at birth or within the neonatal period and at least 90% of them are in developing countries
Pediatric dentistry is a specialty that provides preventative and therapeutic oral healthcare for infants, children, and adolescents through adolescence. It addresses the unique dental needs of this age group. Milestones in the development of pediatric dentistry in the United States include the establishment of the first dental society for children in 1927 and adoption of a formal definition by the American Dental Association in 1995. Effective patient management techniques in pediatric dentistry range from communication strategies to behavioral management tools and vary based on the child's age and needs.
Behaviour management is important for pediatric dentists treating cognitively, physically, mentally and emotionally developing children. The major difference between treating adults and children is that treating children involves a triad relationship between the child, dentist and parents. Dentists should counsel parents not to voice their own fears in front of children or use dentistry as a threat. Factors like the dentist's attitude, attire, and presence of parents can affect a child's behavior. Effective behavior management techniques for children include communication, modeling, desensitization, voice control, relaxation and hypnosis. Physical restraints should only be used as a last resort for uncooperative or handicapped patients.
The document discusses behavior management in pediatric dentistry. It covers several topics including:
1) The objectives of behavior management which aim to provide painless dental care for children through various techniques.
2) Child development which involves physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth from conception through young adulthood. Understanding development aids effective communication with children.
3) Factors that influence a child's behavior in the dental setting including their age, the dentist, parental anxiety, past experiences, and the appointment timing and length. Behavior management techniques aim to provide positive dental experiences for children.
This document summarizes a seminar on behavioral pediatrics. It defines behavioral disorders as tension-reducing activities that appear in childhood development. The document then covers causes of behavioral disorders like faulty parenting, deprivation, and media influences. It describes common behavioral disorders like temper tantrums, bedwetting, nail-biting and ADHD. The assessment and management of these conditions is also discussed. The document provides an overview of behavioral disorders in children.
The document discusses guidelines for designing a pediatric dental clinic. Key considerations include making the space engaging for children by incorporating a play area, aquarium, or other distractions. The reception area and waiting room should be welcoming and keep children occupied with games. Staff attire and presentation should be casual to avoid anxiety. Colors and sounds should be bright and pleasant rather than clinical. Instructions should prepare but not frighten children and parents. Small gifts and praise can reward cooperation. Audiovisual aids and a camera can entertain children during treatment. A team approach is important to assess behavior and plan each child's visits. Equipment should accommodate children ergonomically.
Babies typically begin teething around 6 months of age, starting with the lower front teeth. To soothe sore gums from teething, parents can gently rub or massage the gums with a clean finger or cooled teething ring. Offering chilled, soft foods that can be gnawed on may also provide relief. It's important to monitor for choking hazards from small pieces breaking off. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help if a baby is especially fussy from teething pain.
Thumb sucking is a common behavior in young children where they place their thumb in their mouth and rhythmically suck. It is usually a self-soothing behavior that children engage in when hungry, bored, nervous or tired. Most children stop thumb sucking naturally between ages 3-6, though some continue into later childhood. The document provides tips for parents on how to help their child stop thumb sucking if it persists past when their permanent teeth begin to come in.

Thumb sucking provides comfort and is often due to hunger, boredness, stress or tiredness. Parents are advised to avoid punishment and instead provide toys as distractions if it continues past normal ages.
Thumb sucking is a common habit in young children that is considered normal up to ages 3-4. Persistent thumb sucking beyond this age can lead to malocclusions. Various theories have attempted to explain the root causes, including Freudian oral fixation theory and the rooting reflex seen in infants. Effects of prolonged thumb sucking can include changes to the dental arch. Management involves psychological approaches like parental attention and affection, keeping hands busy, and devices may help for difficult cases.
Thumb sucking at a young age, particularly before children begin teething, is completely natural and will not harm your child’s teeth. In fact, thumb sucking is actually okay as long as the behavior is stopped before a child’s permanent teeth begin to come in. After the age of five or six, thumb sucking and pacifier use can begin to affect the position of a child’s teeth. Prolonged thumb sucking can change the position of a child’s teeth, resulting in malocclusion of the teeth.
Thumb sucking is a behavior found in humansAsmita Sodhi
Thumb sucking is a natural behavior seen in humans and other primates that usually begins before birth and involves rhythmically sucking the thumb or other skin. While soothing for infants, prolonged thumb sucking beyond ages 5-6 can potentially cause dental problems by impacting the development of permanent teeth and jaw structure. The American Dental Association and American Academy of Pediatrics only express concern if thumb sucking persists after ages 6-8 and affects the child's dental alignment, otherwise viewing it as a common and typical behavior for young children.
This document provides frequently asked questions and answers about pediatric dental care. It covers topics such as the first dental visit, teething, bottle and pacifier use, tooth brushing, and common dental issues. The answers emphasize establishing a dental home by age 1, biannual cleanings and fluoride treatments, proper oral hygiene starting at 6 months, and calling the dentist with any dental concerns or injuries. The practice has 3 locations and offers various technologies and distractions to make visits comfortable.
Baby's first teeth usually start coming in around 6 months of age, beginning with the lower front teeth. The teething process may cause some irritability in babies but usually does not result in serious issues like fever, diarrhea or vomiting. While teething, parents should rub inflamed gums and provide teething toys to chew on. It's also important to introduce solid foods like apples and carrots before 6 months so babies learn to chew in preparation for more teeth. Close supervision is needed once teeth emerge to prevent choking on small pieces.
Here are just a few of the most common dental questions and answers:
What should I use to clean my baby's teeth?
What should I do if my child has a toothache?
How can I prevent decay caused by nursing?

Trying to get aware of health during some selfstudy about own experiences that matter. Inspiring others to reduce their sickness and improve quality of life .
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.
The document provides information about oral health from infancy through adulthood. It discusses proper care for infants' teeth, including preventing baby bottle decay and ensuring adequate fluoride intake. For toddlers, the document emphasizes establishing good oral habits like brushing twice daily and limiting snacks. Regular dental visits by age two are recommended to monitor development and teach proper hygiene. Maintaining good oral hygiene is important for overall health and well-being at every stage of life.
This is a great powerpoint presentation on dental care for infants and toddlers. For those of you with new babies, dental care often gets lost among the various checkups, vaccinations, etc., dental care can get lost in the picture. I hope this helps. Zafar Hasan

The document provides information about healthy eating and drinking habits for kids. It encourages kids to try different types of fruits and vegetables prepared in various ways to find ones they enjoy. It also recommends choosing water and milk as the best drinks and limiting sugary drinks like soda, which provide calories but lack nutrients. The document stresses the importance of breakfast and notes that while some kids are interested in healthy eating, others are not, and explores why eating habits may differ among kids.
Frequently asked questions about children's dental health are answered. It is recommended to take children to their first dentist visit within 6 months of the first tooth or first birthday, whichever comes first, and to visit every 6 months thereafter. Parents should encourage brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste after age 2, limit sugary snacks, and promote a healthy diet. Mouthguards are recommended for sports. Dental anxiety can be reduced by explaining visits positively and choosing a child-friendly dentist.

2. Thumb Sucking a
Neurological Disorder?
I found some information online not too long ago from
a Medical History journal that had a very interesting
viewpoint on thumb sucking. Apparently, in the early
1900’s, thumb sucking in children was considered a
brain disease and a neurological disorder! How crazy is
that? Clearly that sounds ridiculous now and we know
that thumb sucking is simply a habit that many older
and younger children have a hard time breaking.
It is important for parents to realize that thumb sucking
is not something that can damage a child
psychologically for life, but instead is something that
you can help and encourage them to put an end to.
Even though it is absolutely by no means a brain
disease, it can have lasting effects on your child’s
mouth, bite, jaw or teeth.
3. The Facts About Thumb Sucking
The Facts About Thumb Sucking
Thumb sucking is a very common and also very natural habit
for young children. Babies have been shown to even suck
their thumbs while still in the womb! It is estimated that
about 80% of infants and children suck their thumbs at some
point during their early lives. That number decreases to
about an average of 15% when children reach the age of
four. 15% is still a very large percentage and while you may
be confused as to why your child insists on sucking their
thumb, there are a number of reasons for the habit. Many
children suck their thumb when they are scared, anxious or
nervous. Children who are tired, bored and in need of
soothing have also frequently been found to suck their
thumbs.
As mentioned, thumb sucking is an incredibly common and
normal thing. But you want to break your child’s habit as
soon as possible. If the habit persists far into their childhood,
certain consequences and side effects could arise. These may
range from damage to permanent teeth from thumb
sucking which will cause dental and orthodontic problems,
to self-esteem or social side effects.
