Baby’s teeth: What you should know

With so many diapers to change and so little sleep, your infant’s dental health may not be top of mind — even after those first baby teeth make an appearance.But the eruption of that first tooth, between the ages of 3 and 9 months, should be a signal to parents to schedule a child’s first dental appointment — and one should be scheduled no later than age 1, according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry…

One step closer to growing a tooth

To build a tooth, a detailed recipe to instruct cells to differentiate towards proper lineages and form dental cells is needed. Researchers have now found a marker for dental stem cells. They showed that the transcription factor Sox2 is specifically expressed in stem cells of the mouse front tooth.

Removing Tonsils Helps Kids With Sleep Apnea, Study Finds

Swollen tonsils and adenoids are a major cause of sleep apnea in children, and while removing them did not improve attention, memory or learning for these kids, it did help them with sleep, behavior and quality of life, a new study finds. Sleep apnea is a condition that causes abnormal pauses in breathing during sleep. “There was a greater improvement in sleep with the surgery, and those improvements were likely responsible for the improvement in daytime functioning, energy levels and behavior,” said lead researcher Dr. Susan Redline, a professor of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Eruption Cyst: Photos of a Purple Bump on the Gums

A little over a year ago, I wrote an article discussing eruption cysts.  Those are the bluish-purple bumps that can form on the gums right before a tooth pushes its way into the mouth.

Upon first glance, many parents are understandably concerned that their child has a serious problem in their mouth.  The photo I used in the original article isn't very clear, and I thought it would be good to post a couple more photos that were recently shared with me.

Photos of Eruption Cysts

Eruption Cyst Front Teeth

The photo above shows two eruption cysts over the permanent upper front teeth.  The teeth are still white, the purple color is due to bruising that has occurred between the gums and the permanent tooth.  Usually, no treatment is necessary and the teeth will come through within a couple of weeks.

Purple Bump on Gums

This photo shows an eruption cyst where the upper left six-year molar is preparing to come into the mouth.  Many parents may not even notice eruption cysts when they occur this far back in the mouth.

Fact: Since many eruption cysts occur on the back teeth and only last a few weeks, they often go undetected.  Because of this, nobody really knows how common eruption cysts really are.  Most estimates say that they occur in under 1% of all children.

To Treat or Not to Treat

Normally, eruption cysts don't need any treatment.  The tooth will usually poke through the eruption cyst and come into the mouth on its own within a couple of weeks.  If the eruption cyst is causing lots of pain, or if it is causing concerns due to its appearance (as in the first photo), it can be cut open to expose the tooth.

You can click the following link to check out a picture of a tooth after its eruption cyst has been opened.

More Pictures of Eruption Cysts

You can find more photos of eruption cysts in this article that appeared in the Indian Journal of Dental Research.

If you have any questions or concerns on eruption cysts, feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below.  Thanks for reading!

Patients in hospitals are not being put first, healthcare professionals say

The study, by influential think tank the Kings Fund, paints a devastating picture of a health service culture in which the needs of the sick come second to management targets and ministers’ priorities. It says NHS reforms which were introduced last month have increased the risks to patients – and the likelihood that a scandal like that at Mid Staffordshire Hospital is repeated. The report, based on a survey of more than 900 healthcare professionals which was undertaken before the head of the NHS, Sir David Nicholson, announced plans to retire, found little confidence among frontline staff and managers about those in charge of the service.

Why Do We Have Two Sets Of Teeth?

gentle dental blue tooth ribbon Have you ever wondered why we have two sets of teeth? At around 6 or 7 years old, our baby, or milk teeth, start to loosen and eventually fall out. This is a natural process and soon new teeth replace the ones that fall out. The baby teeth actually help in making sure that the “permanent” teeth erupt in their natural spot.Lower organisms on the evolutionary chain that have teeth can sometimes develop new teeth throughout their lifespan. The teeth of these species are usually designed for slashing, while the teeth of higher life forms are designed for chewing.Human baby teeth stimulate and guide the development of jawbones and permanent teeth. This means that even though the teeth are “temporary”, they are still important and should be taken care of.

A theory exists indicating a child’s teeth would be too small for an adult mouth, hence the need for the smaller teeth to be replaced with larger teeth. There are normally only 20 baby teeth compared to 28-32 adult teeth.

Gentle Dental recommends that you assist a child into developing good hygiene habits early.

How Your Dentist Knows You’re Not Flossing

Woman Flossing Before Dental Exam

A recent survey by the American Dental Association found that just under half of all Americans floss their teeth daily.

What about the other half?

My guess is that they're the ones who floss twice a year — right before their dental checkups.  They think they can pull a fast one on us, but here's a little secret: dentists can tell when you've been  flossing and when you haven't.

How Dentists Can Tell When You're Not Flossing

The way we can tell if you're not flossing is if your gums are bleeding.  Although there are other, less common conditions that can make your gums bleed, gingivitis is the main cause.  Gingivitis is when the gums are inflamed due to all of the bacteria in your mouth collecting right between the gums and the teeth.

The problem is that it takes about a week of daily flossing for gingivitis to go away and make it so your gums don't bleed when they are cleaned.

The most authoritative book on the gums — that's 1,328 pages dedicated to your gums! — states the following:

The presence of plaque for only 2 days can initiate gingival bleeding on probing, whereas once established, it may take 7 days or more after continued plaque control and treatment to eliminate gingival bleeding.

So, if you end up brushing and flossing really well right before your dental cleaning and exam, your teeth will be clean, but your gums will still show the main sign of inflammation: bleeding.

If you really want to trick your dentist into thinking you're brushing and flossing regularly, you'll have to do it for at least seven days before your visit. And if you're gonna do that, why not simply brush and floss every day?
