The document discusses tooth eruption and shedding in children. It explains that primary teeth typically begin erupting around 6 months, with a general order and timeline provided. It also outlines signs that a tooth is erupting like increased drooling. Tips are given for soothing teething discomfort. The document discusses that primary teeth are usually shed between ages 6-13 as permanent teeth erupt, following the same order. Maintaining good oral hygiene during this transitional period is emphasized.
Baby teeth begin to appear around six months and can remain until a child is 13 or 14. Baby teeth help children eat well, speak clearly and allow adult teeth to grow in properly.
Even though they will eventually be replaced by the permanent adult teeth, baby teeth are very important and should be well looked after, checked or fixed if there is a problem.

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.
Teething is a natural process: Teething is a normal part of a child's development when their teeth start to emerge through the gums.
Timing varies: The timing of teething can vary from child to child, but it typically starts around 6 months of age and continues until around 2 to 3 years old.
Common symptoms: Common signs of teething include drooling, irritability, gum swelling, chewing on objects, and disrupted sleep.
Soothing techniques: Provide teething rings, chilled (not frozen) toys, or gentle gum massages to help soothe your child's discomfort during teething.
Dental care starts early: As soon as your child's first tooth emerges, it's important to start brushing with a small amount of fluoride toothpaste and schedule their first dental visit by their first birthday.
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 dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Understanding Tooth Eruption and Shedding in Children - Springdale Dental Centre.pdf
1. Understanding Tooth Eruption and
Shedding in Children - Springdale Dental
Centre
Understanding the complex nature of tooth eruption and shedding is
critical for parents because it allows them to make educated decisions
and proactively protect their child’s oral health.
By equipping you with comprehensive knowledge, we, your trusted
children’s dentist in Brampton, aim to explain the process and address
any concerns or inquiries you may have.
Throughout this article, we will provide detailed explanations, practical
tips, and valuable insights backed by our expertise in pediatric
dentistry.
We are here to help you understand the journey of tooth eruption and
shedding with confidence, enabling you to optimize your child’s dental
health and lay the groundwork for a lifetime of beautiful smiles.
So, let’s embark on this informative journey together as we explore the
intricate world of tooth eruption and shedding.
2. Understanding Tooth Eruption
The eruption of primary teeth, also known as baby teeth, is a crucial
milestone in your child’s oral development.
These primary teeth play a vital role in chewing, speech development,
and maintaining the space necessary to align permanent teeth
properly.
Let’s explore the key aspects of tooth eruption:
3. Timing of Tooth Eruption
The eruption timeline for baby teeth may vary from child to child.
However, on average, the first tooth emerges around six months of
age.
Here is a general timeline for primary tooth eruption:
1. Central Incisors:
The lower central incisors are usually the first to erupt, typically
between 6 to 10 months of age followed by the upper central
incisors.
2. Lateral Incisors:
The upper and lower lateral incisors follow, erupting between 9 to
16 months of age.
3. First Molars:
4. The first molars, which aid in chewing, erupt from 13 to 19
months of age.
4. Canines:
The upper and lower canines, essential for biting and tearing
food, typically erupt between 16 to 23 months of age.
5. Second Molars:
The second molars at the back of the mouth generally erupt
between 23 to 33 months of age.
Signs of Tooth Eruption
As a parent, it is important to recognize the signs of tooth eruption.
Common indicators include:
● Increased Salivation:
5. Excessive drooling is often associated with teething as the tooth
bears the surface.
● Irritability:
Discomfort or pain caused by teething may lead to increased
irritability in infants.
● Gum Tenderness:
Swollen and sensitive gums are common during the eruption
process.
● Biting and Chewing:
Babies may chew on objects or their fingers to relieve teething
discomfort.
● Changes in Eating and Sleeping Patterns:
6. Some infants experience changes in appetite or disrupted sleep
during teething.
Tips for Soothing Teething Discomfort
To help alleviate your child’s teething discomfort, we recommend the
following strategies:
● Gentle Gum Massage:
Gently massaging your baby’s gums with a clean finger or a soft,
wet cloth can provide relief.
● Chilled Teething Rings or Toys:
These rings or toys can help soothe sore gums. Ensure they are
clean and free from any potential choking hazards.
● Cold Washcloth:
7. Dampen a clean washcloth with cold water, then gently apply
pressure to your baby’s gums.
● Avoid Teething Gels or Medications:
While some over-the-counter teething gels or medications may
provide temporary relief, it is best to consult a pediatric dentist
before using them.
Understanding Tooth Shedding
8. As your child grows, their primary teeth eventually make way for
permanent teeth through tooth shedding.
Let’s explore the essential aspects of tooth shedding:
Timing of Tooth Shedding
Primary teeth are usually shed around the age six or seven when
permanent teeth erupt.
This process continues until early adolescence, with the last primary
teeth typically replaced by permanent teeth by the age of 12 or 13.
The Sequence of Tooth Shedding
Tooth shedding generally follows a specific pattern.
The primary teeth are shed in the same order they initially erupted.
Here is a breakdown of the sequence:
1. Central Incisors:
9. The lower and upper central incisors are usually the first to shed,
between 6-7 years old, making way for permanent incisors.
2. Lateral Incisors:
The upper and lower lateral incisors follow suit, between 7-8
years old, allowing permanent incisors.
3. First Molars:
The first molars are shed next, 9-11 years old, allowing room for
permanent premolars.
4. Canines:
The primary canines are shed between 9-12 years old to make
way for permanent canines.
5. Second Molars:
10. Finally, the second molars are shed, between 10-12 years old, to
allow permanent second molars to emerge.
Caring for Transitional Teeth
During tooth shedding, it is crucial to maintain good oral hygiene to
ensure the healthy development of permanent teeth.
Here are some tips for caring for transitional teeth:
● Regular Brushing:
Encourage your child to brush their teeth twice daily using a
soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
● Flossing:
Once adjacent teeth touch, introducing flossing is important to
remove plaque and food particles between the teeth.
11. ● Regular Dental Check-ups:
Schedule regular dental visits for professional cleanings and to
monitor your child’s oral health.
● Healthy Diet:
Provide a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, limiting sugary
snacks and beverages to prevent tooth decay.
Fun Tips to Encourage Dental Hygiene
Making dental care enjoyable for your child can foster a positive
attitude toward oral health.
Here are a few fun tips to engage your child in their dental hygiene
routine:
● Storytelling Time:
12. Create imaginative stories where the “tooth fairy” emphasizes
the importance of brushing and flossing.
● Colourful Toothbrushes:
Allow your child to choose their toothbrush with their favourite
colour or cartoon character.
● Reward System:
Implement a reward system for consistent dental hygiene habits.
You can use a sticker chart or give small prizes.
● Brushing Together:
Set a good example by brushing your teeth alongside your child.
Make it an enjoyable and interactive activity.
Why Dental Health Matters for Children?
13. Proper dental care is essential for children as it impacts their overall
well-being.
It promotes physical health, boosts self-confidence, and facilitates
social interactions. Instilling good oral hygiene habits early on lays the
foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
Regular dental care helps prevent tooth decay, supports speech
development, and promotes proper jaw development.
Additionally, it boosts self-esteem, prevents dental anxiety, and
establishes lifelong oral hygiene practices.
