“If you took your child to the dentist and check for cavities, the child likely won´t get them. If you take them just for emergency, that´s all they´re gonna get. “ -Bill Cosby
Dental Anxiety: A few tips to help children overcome fear of dentists. Dental anxiety is common among children. It has been showed that about 19.5% of children are afraid of dentists. It has been reported that dentist considers these kinds of patients are the hardest to handle. Dental anxiety is problematic for the clinical as well as the patient, it interferes the receiving of having optimal dental care. There are some ways that can be helpful in managing the child with dental anxiety. Relaxing strategies are very useful. Many children will be calm by following simple deep-breathing exercise, which contains deep inhalation and slow exhalation. They can also been calmer if this deepbreathing exercise involves progressive muscle

relaxation. If the child sits in the dental chair with arms by his or her side and eyes closed. The child is then asked to relax each group of muscles in sequence, starting from the right toes and then the right heel, ankle, calf, knee, thigh, and hip. The child then repeats this exercise on the left side of the body. The right and left arm are then relaxed, followed by the shoulders, neck, jaws, cheeks, forehead, and scalp. Finally, the child is asked to focus on the breathing and relaxing the muscles in the chest and abdomen. Information can make a huge difference. Usually, children tend to do their best when their life is predictable. They are more likely to handle things well when
they have been told in advance what to expect. It helps if the clinical describe what he or she will be doing, what noise the child will hear, what type of vibrations she or he will feel, and what it will taste like. For young children role-play or demonstrations are useful strategy, because at their age it may be difficult to them to understand the explanations. There by, information can be important. Distraction can be useful for children with dental anxiety. If the child is playing with a toy in the waiting room, it can be distracting in the dental chair and therefore is can be clever to take the toy in the dental room also. It can be cleaver to talk to the children about recent birthday party or trip to an animal park, which can disturb the child. lorem ipsum :: [Date]
Rewards are handy for children with dental anxiety. First, the dentists need to inform the child that if the procedure will flourish the child will get an award. These awards can for example be pretend tattoos, football cards, stickers, and some toys. At the end of the appointment the child could be given the opportunity to get a small treat from their parents or the dental office. It might be useful for the dental office to create a “treasure chest” filled with small rewards. And last, it can be good if the parents are involved. If the child is very distressed, the clinical should not hesitate to ask the parents to assistance. Parents know their children best and therefore they know what techniques works best for their child.
Also, children often feel saver with their parents when they are sitting by their side. Parent involvement can be very useful for these patients. It is so much that can be done for children with dental anxiety to make them feel better and be saver in the dental chair. When dentists are dealing with children with dental anxiety it is important to complete the treatment. Treatment completion is not only good for the patient health, but also allow the child to realize that the procedure was not as bad as the child had expected. Rebekka Sif

It offers variety, it is possible to acquire different specialisms, work with a range of other professionals and take advantage of travel opportunities.

Moral and professional responsibility of oral physician toward geriatric patient with interdisciplinary management The time to act is now! Geriatric dentistry is the branch of dentistry that emphasizes dental care for the elderly population and focuses upon patients with chronic physiological, physical and/or psychological changes or morbid conditions/diseases. The dental management of the elderly population is different from that of the general population because special considerations for age-related physiological changes, complications of chronic condition/therapy, increased incidence of physical/mental disabilities, and social concerns are required. Special knowledge, attitudes, and skills are necessary to provide oral health care to the elderly. Wasting diseases of teeth usually increase with advancing age. Oral health has a critical impact on the functional, psychological, and economic aspects of the overall quality of life. The assessment of geriatric patients is a multidimensional, multidisciplinary diagnostic instrument designed to collect data on the medical,
psychosocial
and
functional capabilities and limitations of elderly patients. Optimal treatment planning for older adults requires an understanding of the overall health of the patient and the relationship between any systemic problem and the patient's oral health. Dental treatment plan should have the goal of achieving optimal oral health. Regardless of functional status, the elimination of acute dental infection and pain should be achieved for all elderly patients. Cosmetic and esthetic dental services offers older generation an opportunity to improve their smiles, enhance self-esteem, and improve the quality of life in their later years. Older patients should be given advice and assistance in support of their continued efforts to adequately maintain good oral hygiene. It is crucial to offer oral health education in a manner that respects the patient's autonomy and is not embarrassing. Dietary modifications should be made with regard to sugar intake. Patients should be asked to avoid carbohydraterich diet and encouraged to drink more water.
The geriatric patient may face special health care needs and challenges. The major emphasis or goal of the oral health team, when caring for older patients, is to show emotional and physical support by giving ample time to their hearing. Geriatric dental education should be taught both at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels to oral health providers, and other health care professionals such as physicians and nurses, and to caregivers and patients.This age group requires a good human being and a trustworthy friend, and dentists should play the dual role of both a doctor and a friend.

Hesy-Re
Pierre Fauchard
the first “dentist”
The father of modern dentistry
Hesy-Re was an Egyptian scribe, often called the first "dentist". He died in the year 2600 BC. An inscription on his tomb includes the title "The greatest of those who deal with teeth, and of physiscians." This is the earliest known reference to a person identified as a dental practitioner.
Pierre Fauchard was a Fench surgeon, born 1678. He published The surgeon dentist, A Treatise on Teeth. He is known as being the Father of Modern Dentistry because his book was the first to describe a comprehensive system for the practice of dentistry including basic oral anatomy and denture construction.
Wilhelm Roentgen was a German physicist, he was born in 1845. In the year 1895 he discovered the xray. In 1896 prominent New Orleans dentist, C. Edmond Kells, takes the first dental x-ray of a living person in the U.S. This was a very important discovery and is used every single day by dentists and other doctors.

Wilhelm Roentgen Discovered the x-ray
Did you know? That moving forward into 5000 BC, the Sumerians blamed tooth worms as the cause of any dental issues, with the worms boring little holes in your teeth and hiding out inside. Some ancient doctors even mistook nerves as tooth worms and tried to yank them out. The idea that a worm traveled through your mouth and was the cause of dental pain lasted until it was proven false in the 1700s. Heiðrún Huld 8
Did you know? That Forceps and the 'Pelican' were the most common extracting tools. The dental pelican, invented in the 14th century by Guy de Chauliac was often made by the village blacksmith, needed little skill to use and often caused terrible damage and pain. The pelican was replaced by the dental key in the 1700’s which, in turn, was replaced by modern forceps in the 20th century. Heiðrún Huld
