🗑
Red flags of eruption or exfoliation   primary teeth in at age 4, delayed eruption (genetic, hyothyroidism, hypopituitarism, rickets), complete failure of eruption, variation in teeth number  
🗑
Most common chronic disease of childhood   Dental caries  
🗑
Caries pathogenesis   >100 microbes play a role; Strep. mutans most commonly associated. Ferment sugar to lactic acid which decreases pH causeing demineralization of tooth enamel  
🗑
First sign of demineralization   white spot lesion  
🗑

🗑
Risk factors for Dental Caries   Family hx, low SES, Dietary hx (high in sugar), Bedtime bottles/prolonged use of sippy cups, enamel defects, insufficient cleaning (visible plaque), liquid medications, exposure to passive tobacco smoke  
🗑
Early Childhood Caries (ECC)   presence of 1 or more decayed, missing or filled surfaces in any primary tooth in a child aged 1-6 years  
🗑
Protective factors   good salivary flow, good oral hygiene, balanced diet, adequate flouride  
🗑
Primary prevention   improving maternal dental health  
🗑
Secondary prevention   management of child's oral flora; oral hygiene, dietary counseling, fluoride supplementation, dental care, establishment of dental home  
🗑
Oral health at birth   clean gums with soft cloth. Visual screening at HM visits as soon as first teeth erupt. Teeth should be brushed at least 2x/day. Floss when space between teeth too small to clean  
🗑
Role of Fluoride   increases resistance to demineralizationenhances mineralizationinhibits bacterial colonization of plaque

🗑
mixed population   permanent and primary teeth  
🗑
once dental infection has spread to the pulp, classic signs of infxn include   pain, facial swelling, parulis (“gumboil”)severe complications can develop: sinus infection, cavernous sinus thrombosis, brain abscesses  
🗑
Abx for odontogenic infxns   Penicillin or erythromycin if PCN allergy. Abx tx followed by root canal therapy or extraction.  
🗑
Most severe tooth injury   intrusion injuries of primary maxillary front teeth. Intrusions<3mm have good prognosis. Severe luxations usually require extraction  
🗑
Subluxation   no displacement, but tooth is mobile  
🗑
Intrusion   tooth driven back up into the bony socket  
🗑
exulsion   entire tooth comes out  
🗑
Rx for Mild injuries (concussions/subluxations)   usually result in color changes; monitor for about 6 weeks. yellow: no intervention needed. Black/brown: pulp necrotic, will likely need extraction  
🗑
Avulsed premanent teeth notes   seek immediate care, DON'T TOUCH ROOT! Try to put it back in. Don't let it dry out if you can't put it in (solution of Hank's salt solution, milk, saline), take child to dentist of ED.
