Habits, Environment, and Speech Problems

In children detection of poor habits and speech problems needs to be addressed as early as possible. In some cases, excessive environmental forces like playing a musical instrument can change growth if forces are applied for over a long period of time.

The habits of children both during the day and nighttime can also change tooth position and the jaw development too. In some children the adenoid glands or the tonsils can get enlarged causing airway obstruction which leads to open mouth breathing. This must be addressed as soon as possible because the open mouth breathing along with the airway obstruction

causes the jaws to grow narrow and the muscle of the face also constricts the jaws and can lead to narrow face syndrome. It is important to get children to see the dentist to get them checked and the dentist would recommend seeing the ENT to get the tonsils treated appropriately.

Tongue position problems can also lead to open bite which if not treated early can cause unfavorable jaw growth. Normal speech development is virtually impossible if the tongue is not able to position properly against the palate and teeth. Some patients have vertical jaw growth problems which leads to an open bite whereas some children having airway problems who are forced to breathe through their mouths can also exhibit narrowing of the upper and lower jaws affecting the tongue position. It also affects the swallowing pattern of the patient as well. Therefore, regardless of the tongue thrust or tongue position problems it is very important to get this diagnosed as soon as possible and get it corrected. Thumb sucking or finger sucking habits, nail

biting habit and pen or pencil biting habits must be addressed as soon as possible. Children adapt quickly when treatment is started early on.

It is very important to get children to see the dentist at least once every six months because early assessment enables the early identification of problems, intervention and optimal treatment timing is crucial to get good results in the jaw growth and control of the tongue thrust or thumb sucking or nail-biting habits

TECH TIPS

Raging Storms! Think Maintenance

The storms are raging, wet, and windy and quite possibly showcasing any deferred maintenance you haven’t got to. So next time the sun comes out take a minute and make a list, some for today and maybe some for later. A well maintained home will help save you money by avoiding major repairs later on.

Check for any past damage. Look for loose and leaking gutters. Now is the right time to clean out the gutters. Is your roof missing any shingles, or any tiles slipped out of place, yes even for tile roofs? A common nuisance is foliage, such as grass and weeds or an overhanging tree growing on the roof. Check the valleys where the slope of the roof meets, for debris which has formed or birds have made a home and will cause leaks.

Walk around your yard as if you were a first-time visitor. Be sure to clear away fallen branches and leaves. Prune shrubs and trees to keep them manageable.

Is it time to condition your deck? Be sure to hammer in any loose nails, or replace them with galvanized deck screws. Replace any broken boards or rails. Consider power washing to clean the wood, and then apply an all-weather sealer or stain. Cover and protect that patio furniture from the weather.

Check your fences and repair any broken fence boards to protect from future storms. If you have good neighbor fences you may add a small board at the base to make sure the board don’t fall out during the next wind storm. It is a good idea to stain your fences once a year to extend the life of your fence. If you are just moving in what a great time to get started. Clean the pool if it has been covered all winter. Wash windows, screens and windowsills; repair any past damage. Don’t forget the inside, you can really extend the life kitchen cabinets with a little maintenance such as Old English. Check the central air-conditioning unit for debris and obstructions it is important to have good air flow for

maximum efficiency and to prolong the life of the unit. Make sure all exhaust fans and vents are clean and clear. Don’t forget to remove the lint buildup from the clothes dryer vent.

Be sure to sweep ashes carefully into your fireplace’s ash pit or into a dustpan. If you used it frequently then you may want to call a professional chimney sweep to have it cleaned and lower risk of fire. Clean and lightly oil fireplace tools.

And lastly, possibly the most important of all, don’t forget to replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors even if they are not dead put some fresh ones in and remember to recycle the old ones. You may have missed it this year but in the future, plan to change them when you change your clock for daylight savings.

Although performing these chores may be dreaded task, they go a long way in maintaining and even enhancing the attractiveness and quality your home. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
