Protecting your child’s healthy smile

North AmericAN Precis
syNdicAte
Sure, they start out all shiny
and healthy, but how do you keep
your child’s teeth staying that
way?
The answer is important since
not only can dental problems be
costly to fix, they can also — left
unchecked — have adverse health
consequences later in life. Stud-
ies have linked poor oral health
to everything from an increased
risk of heart attack and stroke to
difficulty controlling blood sugar
among diabetics.
“There really is no ‘cure’ in the
sense that once you have a den-
tal problem like a cavity, you can
only slow the progression,” says
Dr. David Guarrera, doctor of
dental surgery. “That’s why help-
ing children practice good oral
health habits is crucial.”
So what’s a concerned parent
to do? Read on for some tips from
the experts:
n Avoid the dreaded “Baby
Bottle Tooth Decay.” It’s caused
by prolonged contact with almost
any liquid other than plain water.
(The technical term, as the Na-
tional Institute of Dental and Cra-
niofacial Research reminds us, is
“early childhood caries.”) So jot
these three no-nos down: Don’t
routinely put your children to bed
with a bottle containing sweet-
ened liquids; don’t use bottles as
pacifiers; and don’t even think
about dipping pacifiers in sweet-
ened liquids, honey or sugar.
n A different way to mark
that first birthday. A party with
clowns and lots of presents may
be the traditional route, but both
the American Academy of Pedi-
atric Dentistry and the American
Dental Association recommend
that a child’s first visit to the den-
tist occur no later than the child’s
first birthday.
n To wipe or not to wipe. Yes,
getting your infant to eat pureed
carrots can be a chore by itself,
but did you know you’re also sup-
posed to wipe the infant’s gums
and teeth after each feeding with
either a clean, moist cloth or a
baby toothbrush?
n It takes two. To floss, that
is. And as soon as kids have two
teeth that touch, parents should
help them clean between them
daily with floss or an interdental
cleaner.
To help get your kids involved
in their own oral health care
— something widely urged — you
should also check out a free on-
line Oral Health Library (www.
metlife.com/dental) that includes
an interactive parent-child game,
risk assessment tools and a trove
of consumer-friendly informa-
tion from top experts. The site
is courtesy of MetLife, a leading
provider of dental plan adminis-
tration serving nearly 20 million
people, and most of its content
is available in both English and
Spanish.
Adults can find answers to
their own questions, too — in-
cluding whether losing teeth is a
natural part of aging. (Answer: It
most definitely isn’t.)
