The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that 40% of children aged 3-6 years are exceeding the recommended toothpaste guidelines. This article emphasizes the importance of discussing toothpaste use and fluoride levels with parents of pediatric patients. Click on the linked image below to explore these results.

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 Provider,
Our medical colleagues are busy providing preventive messages for their patients, often under tight time constraints. As we collaborate with medicine, we are in a unique position to reinforce and promote preventive messages to parents about children's oral and overall health. This article reminds us of the important role the dental team can play in mirroring positive messaging to parents about their children's health.
We hope your fall is off to a great start!
