Fluoride Information

 

In an effort to keep parents up to date with  fluoridated water issues, Dr. Chan has included a link to the Helix  Water District.  The fluoride implementation date of October 1, 2007 has passed and many parents still have questions regarding fluoride and its necessity.  Please click on the following links  for more information.

 

The San Diego dental society website is a great way to find information concerning you and/or your children.  A wonderful pediatric resource is the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and their website www.aapd.org. The AAPD is the membership organization representing pediatric dentistry and their mission is to promote optimal oral health for children.  Dr. Chan will be using the “What’s New” page to convey helpful tips and information from the AARP to her patients.  She hopes the topics will be helpful and informative to parents and will be changed monthly.

 

YOUR CHILD AND CHEESE

 
Did you know recent research shows cheese is one of the healthiest snacks for your child’s teeth? In addition to providing large amounts of much-needed calcium, cheese also does its part to fight cavities. Cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, and Monterey jack all stimulate the body’s salivary glands to clear the mouth of debris and protect teeth from acids that weaken them. This means cheese disrupts the development of avities, especially when eaten as a snack or at the end of a meal. Calcium and phosphorous found in cheese reduce or prevent decreases in the plaque’s ph level and work to re-mineralize the enamel of your child’s teeth.  Copyright 2002 AAPD
