Dental Health Is A Must Especially For Kids

By Olivia Lopez


Too bad, isn't it, that there is no real tooth fairy who, like the equally illusionary tinker bell, could dart from one bedroom to the next, telling many a parent, about the dire need for their kids to have proper dental health care? Three year old kids have been rushed to the clinic only after their teeth were rotting down to the gums. A little young girl, being unable to swallow her food, suffered sweetened stomach problems because she just opted to swallow it all.

For 40 years this dental clinic has ministered within this particular area. Despite educational leaflets, films, television programs and dozens of other means used to inform families that those teeth are not indestructible, the clinic's appointment books are filled with names of young patients who have never owned a toothbrush. To keep teeth healthy and strong, good nutrition is important but then keeping the teeth clean is much more important.

Furthermore, using dental floss often to clean the spaces between the teeth where bacteria merrily multiply is recommended, apart from just using the toothbrush. Dentists declare that moms can do their roles in ensuring a whistle clean job on their children's teeth if they only provide the needed leverage by learning how this is done. Caramel chews is harmful to the teeth of a child. The other villain can come in the form of raisins. Between hygiene and good food, it is the former that can tell the difference between good and bad teeth.

The preschool program of the clinic has recently achieved some financial support thanks to the efforts of the children's benefit league. There is one civic group that handles raising not just of fund, but also toothbrushes. Free dental hygiene time, instruments and even fluoride were given in for free by local hygienists, and dentists, specialists in their field, all of them and also allotted their precious time in order to give treatment not covered by the dental clinic to these children.

The orthodontic clinic is a specialized and sponsored program that helps kids that need attention in this area badly. Such kind of support would make one think that people who are able to benefit from all these sponsoring would have nothing but perfectly gleaming ivory teeth. But then it is just too bad that this is not the case. Such rely on the concerns of most parents. Typically, an elementary school child, would be sent a note from the school nurse written either in English or Spanish referring him to a dentist and that he must visit soon.

To allay any fears in the child, this visit truly helps. This clinic, located at the ground level of a local hospital, is extremely attractive for him. Operating an X ray machine is also what he is taught. They are no longer frightened of the dentists after meeting them. These dentists are all duly accredited even as they are youngish, sport mustaches and the longer hair styles. Sporting long hairstyles and sometimes a mustache, it is good to know that each of them are duly accredited. They purposely wear casual clothes instead of white coats. They impress the children as being regular guys.

These dentists are marvelous with children, states the clinic spokesperson. Kids in crying fits are a rarity while dentists are able to solve this easily. With every visit, the kids become more confident and friendly with these dental experts. Long after the end of the treatments, kids would still send them letters and photos.
