Blog - Parent Resources

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

Dear bOHP Provider,

Many women are concerned about the impact of medications on breastfeeding. Have a look at the American Academy of Pediatrics 2013 news release on Breastfeeding mothers and transfer of drugs and therapeutics. This publication reaffirms that the majority of medications and immunizations are safe during lactation.
