Are you zoning out at work? Having trouble concentrating? Are you waking up frequently with a pounding headache? Do you often get sleepy – or even fall asleep – when you shouldn’t, like when you’re driving?
Tell your dentist! Dentists are concerned with more than just your pearly whites. We’re here to help you with your overall health and well-being too! More and more evidence is coming out to show that sleep deprivation – a condition that can result in all the symptoms listed at the top of this post – is at the root of a large number of every day conditions. Fortunately, treating sleep deprivation is something most dentists are willing and able to do.

While warm months are perfect for spending time together, summer vacation can also throw off your usual dental routine. Here are three ways to prevent summertime tooth decay:
Stay on a routine Whether your kids are staying up to catch fireflies or a fireworks show, resist the temptation to skip brushing before a late bedtime—or let it slide when they sleep in the next morning. “Don’t forget about your smile over the summer,” says ADA pediatric dentist Dr. Mary Hayes. “It’s important for families to consistently brush and floss, which keeps kids on track for healthy back-to-school dental visits.” No matter how eventful the upcoming months become, supervise that they are brushing twice a day for 2 minutes with fluoride toothpaste. Simple things like brushing calendars can help everyone stay on track over the summer. Plus, it’s a chance to spend more time together. Brushing alongside your children for 2 minutes, twice a day for the three months of summer gives you 6 extra hours together, so make the most of them! And don’t forget to clean between those teeth once a day. “Your children should be flossing between any two teeth that touch,” Dr. Hayes says. “However, many kids don’t have motor skills to floss until they are over 10 years old.” If your child needs help, try different types of interdental cleaners or put your hands over theirs to guide them and get the job done at the same time.

But, you can be thankful she's not using a stone tool instead.
That is what the most advanced dental care looked like thousands of years ago. By studying teeth at archaeological sites, scientists think that prehistoric humans came up with a variety of resourceful solutions to dental problems: people drilled out cavities, sealed crown fractures with beeswax, used toothpicks to relieve inflamed gums and extracted rotten teeth. Now, researchers report that they've discovered what is perhaps the oldest known example of tooth-filling at an ice age site in Italy.

Tooth decay in infants and toddlers is often referred to as Baby Bottle Tooth Decay. It most often occurs in the upper front teeth, but other teeth may also be affected. In some cases, infants and toddlers experience decay so severe that their teeth cannot be saved and need to be removed.
The good news is that tooth decay is preventable! Most children have a full set of 20 baby teeth by the time they are 3-years-old. As your child grows, their jaws also grow, making room for their permanent teeth.

New research suggests there may be a link between gum disease and diabetes. According to the latest data, diabetes affects approximately 422 million people worldwide, and this number is expected to increase. In the United States, 29 million people live with the disease. Of these, over 8 million people have it but have not been diagnosed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC also estimate that 37 percent of American adults over the age of 20 have prediabetes. New research - published in the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care - suggests severe gum disease, or periodontitis, might be an early sign of diabetes. The authors also suggest a simple finger stick diabetes screening procedure could be carried out in the dental office to avoid the adverse effects of leaving diabetes untreated.

University of Washington Most dental care providers have minimal training in special care dentistry, often leaving them unable to address patients’ behavioral and physical needs. Additionally, many patients with special needs are afraid of dental procedures, and may have had past treatment while under general anesthesia. This means their fears are never assuaged, and appointments can remain challenging for both patient and dental care provider. Dr. Keturah Lowe is a second-year general practice resident in the UW School of Dentistry’s Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, focusing on special care dentistry. Most of the week, she can be found at the DECOD clinic, treating patients with developmental disabilities and occasionally working with dental students. DECOD stands for Dental Education in the Care of Persons with Disabilities, and the clinic is part of the UW School of Dentistry. The DECOD clinic, which is supported in part by private donations, provides care to patients with developmental or acquired disabilities, including people with autism, multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy, meaning they often need care beyond what a typical dental office provides.

As former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, MD, has said, “you cannot educate a child who is not healthy, and you cannot keep a child healthy who is not educated.” A new report from the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center demonstrates how oral health, too, is essential for learning and growing.
The report, Oral Health and Learning, outlines how the oral health issues facing millions of children in the United States today negatively impact their opportunities to learn, grow, and become healthy, productive adults. The solution to this problem is multi-faceted and includes preserving and expanding cost-effective dental disease prevention practices such as ensuring the optimal level of fluoride in public drinking water.

The American Dental Association reports that only one out of four Americans floss daily.(1) The American Academy of Periodontology concludes that nearly 27% of American adults admit to lying to their dentist about how often they floss.(2) Studies show that Americans would rather do dishes, sit in gridlock traffic and even clean the toilet before flossing!(3)
As dental professionals, it is essential that we provide our patients with effective education to keep them motivated between recare visits. Building a trusted relationship with the patient is essential in gaining optimal patient compliance for meticulous homecare. Creating Compliance in Pediatric Patients “Although dental caries are largely preventable, they remain the most common chronic disease of children aged 6 to 11 years and adolescents aged 12 to 19 years.”(4) Motivating children to floss is easier with products designed to meet their needs. Gum Crayola Kid’s Flossers are colorful flossers with an easy to grip handle.
