School-based cavity prevention program reduces health disparities and brings dental care to children

 

(1.º§)    A school-based cavity prevention program involving nearly 7,000 elementary school students reduced cavities by more than 50 percent, according to a study led by researchers at NYU College of Dentistry. The study was conducted in 33 public, high-need elementary schools in Massachusetts, where dental hygienists provided care to 6,927 children. The services were provided at no cost to families.

(2.º§)    Dental cavities are the most common chronic disease in children, and one in five elementary school children have at least one untreated cavity. While cavities can be prevented with dental visits and good at-home oral hygiene, some families experience barriers to seeing a dentist, including cost and parents having to take time off of work. "School-based cavity prevention programs eliminate these barriers by bringing basic dental care to children, rather than bringing children to care," said Niederman.

(3.º§)    "In 2010, the federal government set a goal of reducing the prevalence of cavities in children by 10 percent by 2020. Our study shows that this is not only feasible, but also that a comprehensive school-based program can reduce cavities by five times their goal," said Niederman.

(4.º§)    The widespread implementation of oral health programs in schools could increase the reach of traditional dental practices and improve children's oral health – all while reducing health disparities and the cost of care.", says Richard Niederman, DMD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Epidemiology & Health Promotion at NYU College of Dentistry and the study's senior author.

(5.º§)    The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted most school-based dental care because of school closures and fear of creating aerosols, even as oral health care in dental practices has safely resumed with additional infection control measures in place. The researchers stress the importance of safely continuing school-based care, given its ability to prevent cavities using aerosol-free procedures.

PARENTS SHOULD LET KIDS LIVE LIKE THE CHARACTERS ON STRANGER THINGS

Lenore Skenazy

 

The Netflix hit Stranger Things stars a bizarre, otherworldly species. And no, I‘m not talking about Demogorgons or demon birds. I‘m talking about kids who ride bikes, solve problems, and fight monsters — all without their moms. Why aren‘t El, Will, Max, Dustin, Lucas and Mike ever seen in a minivan on their way to soccer? What kind of parent lets their kids battle evil without a phone for emergencies? And, dear God, where are their bike helmets?

Fast forward to 2022. A survey this month found that just 10% of American parents with kids aged 7 to 9 ever let them stay home by themselves, and almost one in five said they wouldn‘t even let their teens do that. In fact, the survey of 2,500 American parents commissioned by SafeHome.org revealed that parents don‘t feel comfortable letting their kids walk to school, ride their bike to a friend‘s place, or play in a park unsupervised until they are at least 12 years old.

The fact is, ever since the ‘80s, parents have been putting their children on an increasingly tight leash, possibly sparked by the photos of missing children printed on milk cartons (without any acknowledgement that most missing kids are runaways or taken in divorce custody disputes). These sad portraits created an obsession with child abduction to the point where today‘s parents don‘t think their kids should be allowed to play unsupervised in their own front yard till age 10, according to a 2014 Rupe-Reason survey.

In other words, America trusted kids‘ stamina, smarts, maturity and responsibility — which, in turn, allowed them to build those qualities. Today‘s parents believe there are a few things kids should be exposed to at a young age. According to the survey, children should be able to have their own digital tablet at age 8. No wonder today‘s kids are so anxious and depressed! Between just 2013 and 2017, the percent of pediatric patients with an anxiety diagnosis more than doubled, an AthenaHealth study found, while the number of teens experiencing depression increased 59% from 2007 to 2017, according to the Pew Research Center.

Psychologists say that avoiding something out of fear gives it even more power to scare us. That means the more parents protect their kids from everyday childhood activities, like walking to school, or staying home alone for a bit, the more those activities become terrifying to both generations. The Stranger Things gang — Will, Lucas, Dustin, Max and the rest — embody the '80s ethos of letting kids do things on their own, while today's culture of constant adult supervision is stunting kids' competence.
