The child and the dentist, or there is no reason to fear?

05-09-2009

During the first visit to the dentist examines the mouth of the child and, if necessary, conducts X-ray examination, in order to detect cavities and to determine whether developing teeth and jaw bones.

Most people do not represent that the cavities can begin to take shape immediately after the eruption of the tooth. Regular dental visits should begin with 2,5 – 3 years old child, in the absence of any problems at an earlier age. Parents should be responsible for the condition of the teeth of their baby, helping them to regular brushing and dental floss at least seven or eight years of age and continuing to monitor the implementation of these procedures in children in older age. That’s what invites the Academy of General Dentistry for the preparation of the child for first visit to the dentist:

In simple terms, explain the positive child, who is a dentist.

“Play dentist” at home, in order to enable the child to feel that the doctor will do.

Prepare your child for what he will be in the dental office alone.

Describe the dental tools and describe how they help the doctor.

Explain what the x-ray and how he “makes the photos” of the teeth.

Never bribe a child to visit the dentist and do not use it as a punishment.

First of all, parents should be careful not to convey their own apprehension or fear of the dentist to your child.

Concerns about the child’s first visit to the dentist may not have nothing to do with fear of the doctor or fear of the dental treatment, and most likely reflects the reaction of the child to the new situation.

Australian researchers have found that troubled children have a greater fear of visiting the dentist, compared with their peers.

Study of 243 children aged 7 to 11 years, the most scared by visiting a dentist at the University of Melbourne has shown that these children are also very scared, and other new situations.

Most effectively help your child cope with fear of a visit to a doctor you will be able to teach him to calmly apply to new, unfamiliar situations, rather than concentrating on the case with a visit to the doctor.

The results also show that the fear of the dentist is not developed due to stay on the dental appointment. On the contrary, it decreases as children get used to the dental office environment.

Back in Philippines, I don’t have dental innaursce. But in Taiwan, everybody is required to pay a monthly innaursce of 1,077 pesos. So all medical and dental check ups are covered here. For teeth extraction or regular cleaning of teeth, we pay only P72, without innaursce it would be P2000. for medical check ups usually including medicine, we pay P215. So I think it’s worth the monthly innaursce we pay to the government. Hope we have the same transparent and corrupt free government innaursce system in Philippines. Thanks!

Not only did I have to wait a week for the results not to mention the 3 hour? waiting line the Doctor had NO IDEA why I was their. I basically had to spell it out to her I wanted to get my results for the HIV test and after a few tense moments pulling up my file she told me I tested ngaetive. REST YOUR NERVES AND TAKE THE 20 MINUTE SWAP TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be nice to know that you do have a clear conscience. HIV teitsng is a pretty unreliable thing to be doing when the very construct of it always leads to Iatrogenic Harm. please check out my video HIV teitsng just how positive are we ? you are a dentist so you have the ability to review the literature. Also see House of Numbers Excerpt here on youtube.

nermar1As a believer in HIV AIDS awaneress, I think this is a fabulous idea! Everyone should be? tested every 6 months and with a convenient and painless option, why not?I know it isn’t the easiest topic to bring up or talk about; however, I hope more dentists and physicians offer this service as well.

Knightyme / Are they claiming that you didn’t go to the dnisett or that you? didn’t call immediately? I can understand not going on the night as you don’t seem to have been in much pain, and were leaving the next day.Do they have a 24 hour number? If not then you can say that you called during their business hours, if so then they can say you didn’t inform them immediately so you didn’t give them the chance to advise what to do.Either way it is poor service on their part, to refuse the claim offhand. http://ywcyzjhv.com [url=http://bfdsrxzfs.com]bfdsrxzfs[/url] [link=http://hgavfi.com]hgavfi[/link]

Sounds like they are tiynrg to Cover More of their Own Arses!!!!!

��:
GrREcTiFFy / Maybe if you show them a video of when you were in Bali to provide proof that this aclaulty occurred over in Bali with a video that shows that your tooth is in fact missing? then maybe you can get your claim, I can see where there coming from but this is some Bull Shit .

First teeth – most welcome

The formation of the rudiments of teeth begins before birth. By the time of birth in the jaw bones of the child are already present in all 20 temporary, or, as they are called “milk” teeth. With that, two front teeth are located below the total, and therefore the first to erupt. This usually happens at the age of 6 months after birth, but do not worry if your baby teething a little late. These are terms – the average, but by 3 years of age in the oral cavity should have all 20 temporary teeth.

How to take care of child teeth?

When should you start to take care of the oral cavity of the child? Oral care of the child should begin immediately after birth. Despite the fact that in the oral cavity newborn are no teeth, food debris can accumulate in the mouth, stimulating growth and multiplication of bacteria that can cause disease in the oral mucosa of the child.

Clean your child’s teeth should begin as soon as they erupted in the oral cavity.
