Podcasts about paediatric dentistry

Welcome and thank you for listening! In this episode, we explore the crucial link between oral health during pregnancy and the lifelong dental well-being of children. We are joined by Dr. Tshepiso Mfolo, President of the South African Association of Paediatric Dentistry and a leading authority on maternal and child oral health. Dr. Mfolo reveals invaluable insights and dispels common myths, such as the idea that bleeding gums during pregnancy are normal and not a cause for concern. She also provides practical tips, like dietary recommendations, for expectant parents and healthcare providers. We'll uncover the unique oral health challenges pregnant women face, emphasize the importance of preventative care, and explain why those seemingly temporary milk teeth play a vital role in a child's future smile!

In this enlightening episode we welcome back the highly esteemed Rebecca Edwards, Director of Education at Activated Probiotics, to dive into the emerging and critical topic of the oral microbiome. The conversation covers the fundamental aspects of the oral microbiome, its significant links to brain health, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular issues, pregnancy outcomes, immune health, and even COVID-19 predispositions. Rebecca reveals the frightening realities of oral bacteria, including the pathways through which oral health can influence systemic conditions like Alzheimer's and rheumatoid arthritis. The podcast also emphasises practical actions for maintaining oral hygiene, the role of diet and hydration, and the groundbreaking potential of oral probiotics.

Recorded on 9 May 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Alex Bolek chairs a webinar with Prof Raman Bedi Infant oral mutilation (IOM) is a traditional practice that is prevalent in many African countries but practised most often in East Africa. IOM involves extracting an infant's unerupted primary teeth or ‘tooth buds' without anaesthesia.  This practice does not have any health benefits. It is typically motivated by the belief that existing tooth buds, which may resemble worms under the mucosa, may be a cause of childhood diseases, such as diarrhoea and vomiting. Thus, tooth buds are removed to prevent and treat those diseases. In the talk Raman Bedi will describe the procedure and the End IOM campaign. Raman Bedi was Chief Dental Officer – England from October 2002 to October 2005. He was the founder and director of the Senior Dental Leadership programme from 2007-2021. In September 2005, he chaired the UK European Union Presidency dental programme. Raman was head of dental public health at the Eastman Dental Institute, University College of London, and Director of the National Centre for Transcultural Oral Health from 1996–2002. From 1998-2008 he was the director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre at the Eastman Dental Institute. Currently, he is an Emeritus Professor at King's College London. He holds several international honorary chairs, including an “Extraordinary Professorship” in Paediatric Dentistry at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa and the University of Pennsylvania.

We discuss: How to make a dental visit more playfulTechniques in managing children co-operationImportance of creating a no blame culture and gaining and trust of theHow you can use an App called Social stories to get maximum engagement with the child patient (this is genius!)We reveal what the MOST IMPORTANT Question to ask your paediatric patient history taking! (this may surprise you!)Lots and lots of techniques shared to improve communication with children and the flow of the appointment during operative proceduresDr Libi reveals The Sugar Bug Story - you will LOVE this.Top tips for prevention! Any downloads promised (SDCEP guidelines, references to apps) are compartmentalised in the Protrusive Dental Community group (closed group), or also viewable below: Here are Dr Libi's top tips for Dentists: 1. Wear something or have a prop which might be familiar to a child (character sunglasses, a toy, a sticker of a character on your scrubs) This will break the ice and give you something to talk about. 2. Be excited! Your excitement will rub off on them. When you collect them from reception tell them how happy you are to see them and how excited you are about the visit today (So excited to meet your teeth!/ count your teeth!). 3. Teach your nurse to distract the child when you need to talk to the parents, this will make them less worried when you talk to the parents in a more formal manner. 4. Never use an instrument without introducing it, even a sharp probe can be introduced in a way that makes it non-threatening (show them the probe and tell them it helps you to be able to tell if something is hard or soft, then run the side (not the tip!) of it along their nail and fingertip and say “see, now I know your nail is hard and your finger is soft, I’m going to do the same with your tooth to check it” 5. Use child friendly words, even if they make no sense, in fact better if they don’t make sense! This actually makes them laugh and relax. 6. Even if the child is cooperative they will lose patience, so always go for the simplest treatment option with the least steps involved. That way you will retain their cooperation rather than lose it, so go for a Hall crown rather than conventional filling when you can because there is less of a treatment burden involved. 7. If you lose cooperation, try to do something (anything) before they leave, this will build their confidence and stop any avoidance behaviour. For example if you were trying to do a sealant or other treatment and were not able to, reassure them that sometimes it can be hard for some people to do this procedure the first time but they will definitely manage something easier, then apply fluoride (if they are not due a fluoride treatment then even just painting their teeth with water and a micro brush will help build their confidence), just remember to explain to the parents why you are doing this. 8. Motivate the parents to talk positively about the visit when they’re at home, tell them to only refer to the positive aspects and give them a goal to work towards, for example, next time we will polish your teeth with the dentist’s special electric toothbrush and it will tickle, how exciting! 9. Be empathetic with parents, tell them you know it’s difficult it is to brush twice for two minutes, when the day is so busy and the children are so squirmy!
