Studies have shown that many children have erosion of the dental enamel of at least one tooth. Orange juice although full of vitamins is a major culprit for young tooth erosion of the enamel. Parents can take some steps to cut down on dental enamel erosion in their children. These include: Limit the exposure of children to acid foods and drinks each day. Do not let children sip juice all through the day. Do not let children keep and swish acidic drinks around in their mouths. Have children rinse their mouths with water after eating foods or having acidic drinks. Children should brush their teeth regularly twice dail...

The author of the original article is Joanne Oppenheim, DDS, a pediatric dentist in Illinois. As Bellevue Cosmetic Dentists we do not normally print other peoples’ articles, but this discussion of stem cells harvested from baby teeth is something of very high interest for later life health of an individual. Therefore, we felt we should publish it on our blog site in its original and unedited form. The only thing is that the tissue culture cell photos by Dr Mao are not reproduced here. However, the tissue photos may be seen in the original article or in the article that we posted on our other Cosmetic Bellevue Dentist ...

The author of the original article is Joanne Oppenheim, DDS, a pediatric dentist in Illinois. As Bellevue Dentists we do not normally print other peoples' articles, but this discussion of stem cells harvested from baby teeth is something of very high interest for later health of an individual. As the article points out, stem cells may be taken from baby teeth and preserved for many years for potential use to cure a disease as children age and grow older. January 10, 2009 My interest in stem cell preservation and research began about 12 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter. I rememb...

Children Don’t See Dentist Early Enough The survey of 914 primary caregivers revealed that the average age children first visited a family dentist was 2.6 years of age. Furthermore, the study found that 34% of those sampled had children under the age of 11 that had never been to the dentist! Common Excuses Those surveyed commonly responded that their children were “too young,” or “didn’t have enough teeth” to visit the dentist. A number of others cited a lack of dental insura...

Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) can differentiate into various types of cells, then multiply to rebuild tissue. Embryonic cord stem cells have been used to regenerate blood cells, but dental stem cells can create many other types of tissues, such as connective, muscular, bone, dental, and even neuronal. Recently, DentalBlogs posted an article regarding the successful implantation of stem cells that resulted in a mouse growing a new tooth. According to a Nova Southeastern University survey, 96% of dentists predict that stem cell regeneration will “dominate the future of dentistry.” More than half of surveyed dentists believe that they will ... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2820455 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:24:22 +0100 2820455 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2709385&cid=t_181466_150_f&fid=38374&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FePharmaSummit%2F%7E3%2FINP6upX167g%2Fonline-site-launched-to-help-new.html (Source: ePharma Summit) ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2709385 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:51:00 +0100 2709385 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1478600&cid=t_181466_87_f&fid=36941&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mazecordblood.com%2Fblog%2F%3Fp%3D26 I just read an interesting article on banking the stem cells from baby teeth.  While I am a big believer in stem cells, I am somewhat sceptical of these companies that keep introducing new sources of stem cells and developing companies to bank these stem cells.  Cord blood is currently used to treat 70 different diseases so it seems reasonable to consider saving it just in case (especially since it would otherwise be thrown in the trash).  Baby teeth and menstrual blood (another source of stem cells) are currently not used to treat anything.  So, not only are you banking in case your child (or yourself) becomes ill, but you are also counting on scientists developing a succcessful treatment in that time.  As far as I know, there is currently no research exploring the treatment potentia...

Some nursing moms and babies sail through that transition without problems, and even benefit from the soothing that breastfeeding can provide a teething baby. But what about the moms who start to notice tooth imprints in their nipples? The baby isn’t biting exactly, but those pesky teeth are getting in the way of mom’s comfort. This happened with a reader who writes: My 10 month old son is not really biting me while nursing, but clamping down with his two new top teeth. Each of my nipples have sores in the shape of his teeth. I believe he is nursing the way he always has, but now that he has teeth he is cl...
