Making the Most of Your Teen's Orthodontic Care

Braces have become commonplace in many families – approximately 4 million people receive orthodontic care in the U.S. each year. Most people undergo orthodontic treatment during adolescent and teenage years, when the permanent teeth have come in and treatment can be most effective. Yet, as many parents already know, getting teenagers to adhere to a cleaning routine can be tricky. For parents and teens who want to keep the cleanest teeth with braces, follow these tips: • Brush, brush, brush, brush. Most dentists recommend brushing twice a day if you don’t have braces. That doubles for people with braces. Clean teeth at least four times a day. Be sure to follow the orthodontist’s instructions on how to properly brush with braces. • Purchase a travel toothbrush. It’s difficult to brush your teeth four times a day when you’re away from home most of the day. Teenagers have busy schedules, so they should always be prepared. Travel toothbrushes will allow your teens to brush their teeth and braces anytime throughout the day. • Get in between teeth. Brushing alone will not remove all of the plaque. Flossing teeth, around brackets and at the gumline at least once every day will ensure a cleaner mouth. Floss threaders help maneuver dental floss between wires, brackets and teeth and can be easily obtained through your orthodontist. • Consider oral care probiotics. Teens may not always comply with a strict oral hygiene routine, so an oral care probiotic might help. Oral care probiotics work by flooding the mouth with beneficial bacteria, which adhere to tooth surfaces, including pits and fissures in the chewing surfaces and those tooth surfaces under orthodontic appliances, and around and under the gum line leaving less room for harmful bacteria to grow. They can reach areas that brushing and flossing miss. • Get professional cleanings. If a teen is forgetful, regular teeth cleanings might be a helpful reminder. Committing to your teen's orthodontic care will help establish lifelong healthy oral care and help achieve the best results from their orthodontic journey. ~NUSA Please say, “I found it in the Southwest New Jersey Kids’ Directory.” Thanks!

Is Your Child Being Bullied?

Things to Know...

According to StopBullying.gov, between 1 in 4 and 1 in 3 U.S. students say they have been bullied at school. While the term "bullying" has become a buzzword, it's also important to understand what it means. The Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Department of Education define it as a pattern of unwanted aggressive behavior that causes physical or psychological harm. "As a high school counselor for over 10 years, I've witnessed bullying and its impacts in different ways - from working with administrators and teachers to put a stop to it in classrooms, to supporting parents and students as they attempt to heal and find the best path forward," said Carol Heavin, a school counselor for Arkansas Virtual Academy who has been in education for 28 years. One of the best ways to help prevent bullying is to empower parents with useful advice, including warning signs to watch for, tips on how to talk to your kids about bullying and information on where to go for help. Because the long-term effects of bullying can be serious for a child, a parent's actions and support can help protect them from harm. Heavin offers the following warning signs and tips:

Warning signs As a parent, you know your children well and what to expect from them. While some changes in behavior can be noticeable or sudden, others can be hard to spot. If you suspect your child is a victim of bullying, watch for these warning signs: * Change in your child's attitude or visible loss of confidence; this includes nonverbal and verbal changes, from how they carry themselves (dejected, slumped posture) to expressing suicidal thoughts ** Any unexplained, physical bruising or injuries ** Withdrawing from usual hobbies and interests ** Change in dress ** Change in friend group or sudden loss of friends

How to talk to your kids If you notice these warning signs and suspect your child could be a victim of bullying, talking to your child is a critical step to understanding what is happening and building trust. Keep these things in mind as you decide how and when to talk to your child: ** Be available to your child, and schedule at least one weekly family dinner or outing to connect and check-in ** Ask your child about their day, every day, to keep the lines of communication open ** Find a time to talk to your child in a relaxing environment, such as listening to music, watching a sports game or doing an art project together ** Start the conversation with your child with topics that interest and build a rapport with them Continued on pg 12 Please say, “I found it in the Southwest New Jersey Kids’ Directory.” Thanks!

As hard as it may be, don't push them to share something they may not be ready to share; consistent reminders that you are available to talk are important cues

What to do After you've identified warning signs, and you believe that your child is a victim of bullying at school, there are a few things you should consider and keep top of mind. ** Take a deep breath and stay as calm as possible * Document as many details as you can from your child, including what is being said or done to them, who may have witnessed the repeated behavior, etc. * Speak to the school administration, sharing as many documented details as you can * Ensure your child is a part of an environment that uplifts them (i.e., church events, sports, other clubs) * If possible, remove them from the bullying situation and consider other academic opportunities, such as a tuition-free online public school Children can be cruel, and adults can't chaperone 24-7. For this reason, many times schools don't find out about bullying until it's been taking place for a long time. Students are embarrassed and uncomfortable speaking freely about what's been happening to them. By following this advice, you're already helping to stop bullying and protect your child.

Quick Safety Tips for the Season of Sledding Dress Warm - Dressing for the weather will protect children from frostbite and extend their outdoors enjoyment! Wear a Helmet - This simple safety commitment can prevent head injuries. Check out the Course - Avoid areas where there are a lot of trees, poles, or rocks. Navigating through these areas be may difficult; especially on hills. Feet First - Maintaining control of the sled is much easier when in the correct steering position; especially on hills. Safe habits help keep our children safe.

Happy Sledding!
