22.01.2022 Sometimes it’s difficult to find GPs who understand dental professionals referring to them for sleep and breathing. A recent study shows why: they’re not learning about it! Thanks to our friends at ENT Specialists Australia for sharing this 2020 research paper.... Carla

21.01.2022 Wondering what to do about tongue tie in your practice? Well, the most important thing to remember is FUNCTION over APPEARANCE. How your patient's tongue moves is what matters most. Some signs there may be an issue with a tongue tie include:... - Problems with breastfeeding - Problems with solids - Messy eating - Snoring/poor sleep - Poor oral hygiene - Problems with speech clarity/muffled speech BUT....keep in mind that these things also can be red flags for OTHER ISSUES.... And some babies and children with tongue tie have no problems at all. So nothing is simple. The other thing to keep in mind is, if your patient DOES have a tongue tie and is functioning well, it's ok to monitor this as they grow and develop. We don't always have to jump in and treat a tongue tie when we see it. Monitoring and reviewing a tongue tie throughout the lifespan, and intervening only when there is a problem is perfectly acceptable. As a clinician, having appropriate and factual information and referring to a clinician who is up to date with current evidence-based practice is the most important thing you can arm yourself with. Don't forget, we're teaching our 0-4 years course in Brisbane in October, live streaming available!

20.01.2022 DO YOU EXAMINE BABIES IN YOUR DENTAL PRACTICE? You should! The American and Australian Dental Associations recommends that babies have their first dental assessment when their first tooth is visible or by 12 months.... But be honest. Do you know what you’re looking at? An important topic we teach in our Treating 0-4 Years for Dental Professionals is ORAL MILESTONES. As dental professionals, knowing what is within normal in a baby's mouth and what's not is critical so that we can refer to other health professionals if and when necessary. Did you know that a newborn baby’s mouth is very different to a baby of 4 months? Here are some key points about a newborn's mouth: the mouth and throat are close together There is limited open space in the mouth and throat areas there should be a wide U shaped palate that's flexible and moveable The mouth should be closed and the baby should be nasal breathing Their tongue fills their mouth at rest They have big cheeks with sucking pads and more! But by around 4 months, that all changes....the pharynx drops and the back of the mouth becomes a more open. space. There's shrinking of the sucking pads and jaw, lip and tongue stability are developing. That's right, babies change and at every age are different. Want to know more? Learn with us! Our 3 day mini residency: Treating 0-4 years for Dental Professionals will take place in Brisbane on the 23, 24 and 25th of October. Online registration available.

10.01.2022 DON'T YOU HATE WHEN PATIENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT RECLINING?? My Dad came to visit me recently. He hates the dentist. And he hates to be reclined. It’s almost a bit of an in-joke in the industry. Some of us have some hilarious passive aggressive comments ready to reply with when Karen complains she can’t breathe or feels dizzy when she lies back too far....Continue reading

08.01.2022 Many health professionals think of tonsils only being a problem when they become infected - but that’s not the only case where tonsils can be an issue. Sometimes, tonsils can be so large that that block the airway in children and adults and cause an obstruction. That means, air cannot pass through adequately and there is a blockage. This is a major concern for our patients’ health, Tonsils do shrink after the age of 4 years old, but we must keep in mind that under 5 years o...ld is a major cognitive growth and development period. A child really can't afford a reduction in oxygen to their growing little brain at this age. Health professionals use a grading system for tonsils. Keep in mind though, the grading itself is not enough to warrant concern. It is the size of tonsils as well as the SYMPTOMS that go along with them that make up the pieces of a bigger puzzle, and lead us towards referring children to a breathing or airway specialist. Some symptoms of enlarged or overgrown tonsils you may notice include (but are not limited to): - snoring - choking or coughing during sleep - a pause in breathing during sleep - restless sleep - poor daytime behaviour - poor eating patterns - picky eating - poor weight gain - tiredness and lethargy - poor school performance and more..... BUT DON'T FORGET! There are lot of other things besides large tonsils that can cause airway problems like large adenoids, sinus problems, blocked noses, small jaws amongst other things - so don't just guess!

04.01.2022 DO YOU ASK PARENTS ABOUT THEIR CHILD’S SLEEP? I do. And many are surprised by the question. Their faces say it all I mean, hello?... Most parents have spent years trying to get our babies to sleep... Once kids are sleeping through the night, like you would even GO INTO THEIR ROOM and find out! For some parents, the answer is a solid "not great, hasn't slept well since she was a baby," no matter what the age.... Their child is up and down a few times a night, a bed wetter, regularly wakes for a drink or has regular nightmares or night terrors.... And as a parent, how do they know what is normal for their age and what isn't? So there are a few things we ask parents to do if they aren't sure... 1. Take some video...is their child restless or coughing or snoring throughout the night? 2. Keep a diary - make a specific note over 2-4 weeks of their child's sleeping and waking in the night. 3. Fill in a specific questionaire related to sleep....these questionnaires have been designed to pick up on any sleep issues that should be investigated by a medical professional further. And you as a clinician can look for signs in a child's face and mouth for signs of poor sleep. Red flags for poor sleep might include: abnormal tooth wear unexplained tooth erosion crowding narrow arches dark circles under the eyes retruded lower jaw Just to name a few..... Combined with parents' information, this helps us piece together if there is a problem that needs referral to a doctor. After all, we’re all part of the healthcare team. Carla xx

04.01.2022 FACTS ABOUT TONGUE TIE..... We know as dental professionals that the tongue is an important part of the oral structures. After all, its made up of 8 muscles that attach to various areas of the head and neck and work with OTHER muscles to perform various activities such as chewing (yep, the tongue helps manage food in the mouth), swallowing, licking and speaking.... It's part of a COMPLEX and doesn't work alone. That's why when one of our patients has a tongue tie they usually can't perform those natural healthy functional activities properly. And its not just the tongue that's not working properly - because to perform these day to day activities, other muscles in their face, neck and mouth have to compensate for this. Example: Someone might have a tongue tie, but move their jaw excessively to speak to COMPENSATE. Or.... Someone might have a tongue tie, but eat slowly, or messily, or be a picky eater as they have learnt how to manage their food over time and COMPENSATE. Or... Someone might have a tongue tie and have a very tight neck or forward head posture, but put their headaches down to computer work not the fact that all of their muscles have had to COMPENSATE. Many people have tongue ties (including breastfed babies) who live with it and COMPENSATE. But its the long term results of those compensations that are difficult to predict and manage. This is why FUNCTION is important. We shouldn't worry about the APPEARANCE of a tongue (although appearance will often give us a clue), but how it and the person FUNCTIONS. This is why the old fashioned way of diagnosing tongue tie in the dental surgery by "stick your tongue out" doesn't fly anymore. (If you meet anyone diagnosing tongue tie like that - RUN A MILE!) If tongue tie prevents good healthy function, THEN we should intervene.....but carefully and strategically. A 6 week old baby for example is a lot simpler to treat than a 3 year old with a tongue tie. Monitoring a tongue tie in toddlerhood when you have a healthy baby who is eating well and putting on weight is ok. We can watch as they get older to assess impact....we can intervene at any time if the..... (continued In comments)
