  • Iron Deficiency and Early Childhood Caries

    Posted in Nutrition on 2016-09-22 20:32:50

    Dear bOHP Subscribers,

    We hope that your fall is off to a great start. This month, we highlight an article published in the Maternal and Child Health Journal that addresses iron deficiency in children ages 1 to 3. Sufficient dietary iron intake is critical to brain development in children of this age, and studies have shown children with severe early childhood caries are twice as likely to have low ferritin levels and six times more likely to have iron deficiency anemia. This new study (subscription required) found an interesting link between dietary iron and calcium levels, bringing back the connection to oral health.
                                                                                       Best Wishes,
                                                                                       The bOHP Team

  • Predicting Caries Risk in Children

    Posted in bOHP Smart Briefs on 2016-06-29 15:39:41

    Dear bOHP Subscribers,

    Happy Summer! In this issue, we are highlighting an article in the Journal of Dental Research by UNC's Dr. Kimon Divaris, who discusses in depth whether it is possible to predict caries risk in children - the result may surprise you! An interview with Dr. Divaris is included below, where he addresses the major argument he makes in his article. A link to the article can be found here (subscription required).
                                                                                       Best Wishes,

  • "Fed Up" Movie Viewing

    Posted in Parent Resources on 2016-05-05 20:11:54

    Dear bOHP Subscribers,

    This month, we would like to share a great resource that we commonly share with parents and caregivers in our clinic. The “Fed Up” movie reveals many truths about the food industry and addresses the topic of obesity and how sugary foods and drinks are contributing to an epidemic in the United States. It highlights many of the common risk factors associated with dental caries.

    We are linking these movie passes that we invite you to download (click here) and share with families in your practice to increase awareness and understanding of dietary risk factors for oral health.

    Happy Spring!
    The bOHP Team

  • Teething and Fever

    Posted in Health and Wellness on 2016-03-10 19:04:22

    Dear bOHP Subscribers,

    We hope your 2016 has been off to a great start. In this issue, we share with you a new meta analysis from Pediatrics that concludes that fever is not a consequence of teething in children. The article confirmed that gingival irritation, irritability, and drooling are the most common signs and symptoms of teething. The abstract can be found attached.

    Best Wishes,

    The bOHP team

    Dear bOHP Subscribers,

    In light of working with families to establish healthy bedtime routines -- Brush, Book, Bed -- we highlight a great book list developed by the Maryland Dental Action Coalition and the University of Maryland Health Sciences and Human Services Library. We hope you find this to be a useful resource.

    Best Wishes and Happy Holidays,
