#Canadian dentistry?

[detailtilted]

In search of Canadians, Canadian stereotype aficionados, or people with great ears...

This is a really short clip from the next enhanced video I'm working on -- the J2 panel at VANCON 2009. I'm having trouble subtitling this Canadian fan's question and I thought someone on Tumblr might be able to tell what she's saying. I suspect I'll feel stupid if/when someone is able to interpret it, but I've listened to it an uncountable number of times from every video known to man that has this segment of the panel.

That "[inaudible] knowledge" is especially driving me nuts. My ears insist she's saying "tooth knowledge", but I don't think that makes sense? Googling about Canadian tooth knowledge just offers me, unsurprisingly, info about dentistry in Canada. 🤣 I've tried a few other similar-sounding words, but I haven't found one that makes sense to me. There are other parts of her question I'm unsure about, so I'd very much welcome any corrections or suggestions!

Here's a copy-and-paste-able version of what I have, with the parts I'm most unsure about in orange.

Fan: Ok... my question... is now that you two have been in Canada for a number of years, [inaudible] acquired some Canadian eh's and [inaudible] knowledge and Tim Horton knowledge. If -- if we were to go to Texas, what would we have to acquire to be good Texans?

Jensen: Whataburger.

[There's much more, but I cut the clip here to make it easier for anyone who wants to join me in replaying this section over and over and over and over...]

The federal government unveiled its new dental-care plan on Monday — a $13-billion insurance program that will start covering routine dentistry costs next year for people who meet a certain income threshold.

Ottawa will cover kids under 18 and some seniors first before expanding the program to all eligible low- and middle-income Canadians in 2025.

Applications for seniors aged 87 and over will open later this month. Other age groups will be able to apply in the new year.

The staggered application process is designed to make the rollout as smooth as possible. The government says it expects millions of people to avail themselves of this new component of Canada's social safety net.

Letter: School in the time of COVID-19 - Published Sept 5, 2024

The Editor:

We can disagree on many things, but all of us should be able to agree on this simple fact:

"Sick children can’t learn, sick teachers can’t teach." - Amanda Hu, community advocate

Once again children and youth in B.C. are returning to school during a COVID surge.

Needless to say what will follow is predictable. Sadly, it was preventable, had we prioritized the rights of children to life, health, safety and education and child development during an ongoing pandemic.

Make no mistake, the emergency phase may be over, but COVID-19 is not.

B.C. preschool and school children, their families and teachers will yet again be infected with COVID-19 this fall. That is, unless they were recently infected, or they are part of the minority of families who continue to use all available layers of protection to avoid a (re)infection.

Last year in B.C., updated COVID-19 vaccines became available only after Thanksgiving.

By then, infections had already peaked. This year again, unless things change, the newest COVID-19 vaccines will likely only be available too late for many B.C. school children, their families and their teachers.

B.C. is not alone. The other provinces and territories are also failing children with schools restarting when the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is high and yet another more contagious sub variant, KP.3.1.1, is spreading freely.

However, If you are in B.C., you’d be hard pressed to find up to date COVID-19 information.

As of May 2, the BCCDC declared the respiratory virus season over and switched its COVID-19 Situation Report from weekly to monthly. It’s as if someone thought limiting data in the summer would make COVID-19 disappear, or perhaps help it become seasonal.

Thankfully, the Government of Canada has continued to report Respiratory virus trends. As shown in the graph below, unlike RSV and Influenza, SARS-CoV-2 does not stop spreading with the arrival of summer (surveillance week 25). Maybe your family has already learned this.

Image of Percentage of tests positive for Canada side by side with BC (Fig.4)

The reported laboratory test positivity rate as of Aug. 24 was 17.9 per cent in B.C., same as last year when school reopened. This number is an under estimation of the true level of infections in B.C. communities given testing is restricted to healthcare settings (EDs, hospitals and congregate settings outbreaks) while community rapid tests results are not being recorded.

By comparison, BCCDC’s last reported COVID-19 Situation Report is from July 27, 2024, too long ago to be of much use to parents and teachers. The next one is out today, Sept. 5, after B.C. schools’ resume. It’s really difficult to manage one’s risk of COVID-19 without any timely and easily accessible data.

Thanks to Dr. Tara Moriarty, an infectious disease researcher and associate professor at the University of Toronto, faculty of Dentistry, the Canadian COVID-19 Forecast for Aug. 31 to Sept. 13, 2024, now confirms that B.C. is in the severe category, with estimates of about one in every 27 people infected or roughly 196,900 - 224,800 infections this week.

This is higher than the national COVID-19 forecast and represents the highest hazard level of any Canadian province and territory during this time period. As B.C. schools restart, this translates to likely one person infected in a class of 26 students plus a teacher.

This is a rinse and repeat of last fall and the ones prior during this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. How long can we keep on re-infecting school children and teachers?

Again, we can disagree on many things but all of us should be able to agree on this simple fact:

"Sick children can’t learn and sick teachers can’t teach." - Amanda Hu

There is another way. It involves cleaning the air that our children and their educators share and breathe. The accumulated evidence is there, “respiratory viruses” are breathed in.

Worth reminding that even though SARS-CoV-2’s enters via the respiratory tract, it is a vascular virus that can impact every organ system of the body, and its effects can last well after the acute phase of the illness is over. This is true for adults, adolescents and children, though the presenting symptoms may differ.

This school restart should have been different.

In April, the BC Green Caucus introduced the Clean Air Act. A private member bill, it “proposes that both indoor and outdoor environments be monitored and regulated for air quality, especially in places frequented by vulnerable groups such as children, students, and the elderly.”

This bill addresses pollution, wildfire smoke and infectious aerosols. It passed first reading, but when the second reading will occur is anyone’s guess.

In late May, the Healthy Environment and Climate Change (HECC) team of VCH Public Health co-produced with Fraser Health a guidance document on Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality for Schools and Childcare Facilities.

It marks a significant departure from prior BC public health COVID-19 recommendations and states, “Many respiratory infections are transmitted through the air from a person infected with a virus or bacteria. Ventilation and air filtration may help to reduce transmission of respiratory infections, particularly in crowded, poorly ventilated spaces.”

Many of B.C.’s schools are” crowded and poorly ventilated spaces”, especially the portables and schools without any mechanical HVAC.

In June, at the Educational Facility Managers Association BC’s Annual Conference, Stephen McNichols, the engineer on the Ventilation Technical Advisory Panel for the Ministry of Education and Child Care, presented the latest ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) Standard 241, Control of Infectious Aerosols.

This standard was issued by ASHRAE in June 2023 to establish equivalent clean airflow requirements to reduce the risk of disease transmission through exposure to infectious aerosols in buildings and spaces (e.g. schools, hospitals, residential homes) during an epidemic or in a pandemic like COVID-19.

Then in early August, the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care updated its HVAC guidance to school districts and included ASHRAE’s Standard 241.

These slow steps towards addressing clean air in schools and in childcare facilities gave me hope that this year, B.C. schools restart would actually look different.

Unfortunately, so far none of these new guidances have translated into any meaningful improvements to the indoor air quality in B.C. schools.

Until today, Suzy Mah, a Vancouver School Board Trustee, was herself unaware of the new VCH/FH guidance on Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality in Schools and Childcare Facilities. Meanwhile the pandemic continues, and parents still have no idea what is the quality of the air in their school children’s classroom.

History will not be “kind” to the adults charged with keeping kids healthy and learning in school in the time of COVID-19.

- Lyne Filiatrault, retired B.C. emergency physician

Happy birthday KEKE ROSBERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (06/12/1948) ⚡

Keijo Erik Rosberg, commonly known as 'Keke', was born in Solna, a city near Stockholm. Keke happened to be born in Sweden because his father Lars, after the Second World War, moved there to study Veterinary medicine, which at the time, wasn't a subject taught in Finnish universities. There he met Lea, whom also was from Finland, and that later he would end up marrying. Keke has two younger sisters: Seija and Jaana, both born once the family got back in Finland.

Motorsport seemed to run in the family's blood: both Lars and Lea were actively enganged in racing, especially Lars, who participated various times in the Finnish rally and later in the Monte Carlo one. Needless to say, that sparked the interest of young Keke in to racing. Like many others, the young Finn started racing with karts and was assisted by his father whom essentialy became his mechanic; in his first season Keke proved immediately his talent by gaining the third place in the Finnish Karting Championship. The following year, he would go and win the Nordic championship and the Finnish one, which he'll end up winning the following year too. In 1968 he also started competing in Sweden and, for the first time, in Europe; unfortunately he had to start his military service and put on a halt his racing career. Soon afterwards Keke kept racing in Europe (central Europe in particular) and, after failing his dentistry exam for the second time, he started working at Nokia Electronics as a programmer. Till this moment Keke thought about racing as just an hobby, nothing more, but his achivements will make him think about his future. It took a collegue to convince him to start racing in the Formula Vee Championship, that he'll win in 1974, before moving to, and winning, the Super Vee Championship in '75. After gaining so many successful results, the Finn had his debut in Formula 2 and 3 at the same time, and also started racing in the Formula Pacific and in the Formula Atlantic, where he would race against, the still unknown, Gilles Villeneuve. In 1977, during his second season in F2, Keke was able to test a Formula 1 car for the Japanese team Kojima, which intended to enter the car at the Brazilian GP that very same year, but unfortunately, the team didn't participate at the GP. Yet Keke's chance to enter the world of F1 would come quite soon.

That chance came from the relatively new Theodore Racing team, which was looking forward to enter their car in F1 at the beginning of the '78 F1 season, and saw a big potential in the Finnish driver, infact Keke made his debut in Formula 1 at the South African GP, yet his debut wasn't that optimistic: he ended up retiring early from the race due to a fuel leak. During the season he would drive for the German team ATS, with whom he would win a non-Championship race, which was the only positive result from that year. For the '79 season the Finn didn't have a seat, so he kept racing in F2, and occasionally, took part in a few Can-Am races driving for Paul Newman's team. But eventually a second chance presented itself: in light of James Hunt leaving the Wolf racing team in the middle of he season, the Canadian team hired Keke for the rest of the year. Due to the unstable pace of the Wolf WR7, he preferred to join the Fittipaldi team, along world champion Emerson Fittipaldi. With the team he stayed for only two seasons, the car turned out to be extremely unreliable, and eventually led to two consecutive disappointing seasons. With the news of Alan Jones leaving the Williams team, in 1982 Keke joined the british team, but not with high hopes, due to the fact that the car didn't have a turbo engine, and automatically was thought to be out of the contention for the F1 title. Yet to everybody's surprise the Finn demostrated to be quite competitive at the wheel of his Williams FW08. In the span of one season he managed to score his first pole position, be the first Finnish driver to lead the F1 Championship, score his first victory at the Swiss GP and winning his first and only Championship. Despite the various retirments, and tragedy-filled season, with Gilles Villeneuve and Riccardo Paletti's passing and Didier Pironi's almost fatal accident, the Finn managed to score points in almost every race, earning him the coveted title. But if the '82 season had been extremely positive and rewarding, his following 3 seasons at Williams weren't as much as that. Williams slowly begun its decline: the pace of the cars didn't improve during the mid 80s, and also its reliabilty got worse, so much worse that Keke during the '84 season, retired from 8 of 16 races. That's what forced the Finn after the '85 season to move to McLaren, joining in team Alain Prost, in what will turn out to be the Finn's last season. The McLaren didn't suit his driving style and overall his season wasn't that great, it was also signed by the tragic death of Keke's dear friend, and fellow F1 driver, Elio De Angelis, which all made everything easier for him to leave Formula 1.

Once he left behind the world of Formula 1, Keke kept getting involved in various motorsport events like the 24 Hours of Spa and Le Mans, DTM and later took part in a few editions of the Arctic Lapland Rally.

Known to be very passionate about economy, he often managed his own negotiations with sponsors. After retiring from motorsport he managed finnish drivers like JJ Lehto, future World Champion Mika Häkkinen and his son Nico Rosberg.

Often wrapped in a cloud of smoke, the Finnish driver is known for his strong, honest and witty personality, which was perfectly reflected in his aggressive driving style, that wasn't so kind on the machinery. Yet he's endwoned of great car control, that particularly stood out in the worst weather conditions.

You can do a lot more than you think you can, I certainly believe you have the power to make great changes to your life. You like to cook/bake and create works of art, have you considered maybe aiming for culinary school? Really perfect your craft and learn new techniques, something you can take pride in. Average salary of a culinary art worker in the United States makes $24.02, nearly 50k a year. Of course, trade school courses offer so many other jobs that don't require heavy lifting. You can also enter cosmotology, dentistry, graphic design, and so much more. Honestly, I think you should consider looking into a school that could be right for you. It'd be worth the attempt! My eldest brother is currently attending to become an electrician, and my youngest bro is joining the Air Force get his Software development career started after recieving his degree. Anything is possible, your life is still just starting 👀👍🏻

I… don’t really like cooking at all actually. I tolerate baking but I rarely partake in it. I don’t have a strong sense of taste or smell so I don’t get that same satisfaction from food other people do.

I live in a small rural Canadian town so my options are a bit limited here. I have done school crawls regardless but I usually don’t have the necessary qualifications since I wasted years thinking I could do animation.

More from the wildest Wikipedia article I will read today:

[Patients] were given whiskey or a cocaine solution that he called "hydrocaine" to numb the pain.

At one point, he claimed to have pulled 357 teeth in one day, which he wore on a necklace.

He legally changed his first name to "Painless" when he was accused of breaking a false advertisement law by claiming that his dentistry was truly painless.

Canadians. We are a menace.

Understanding Baby Teeth: Why They're More Important Than You Think

When your child’s first tooth appears, it’s a momentous occasion—but it’s often met with the question: “Why bother caring for teeth that will eventually fall out?” At Convergent Dentistry, we know that baby teeth, or primary teeth, are much more important than they may seem. Their health sets the foundation for your child’s overall oral health and development. Here’s why these little teeth matter in a big way.

What Are Baby Teeth?

Baby teeth are the first set of teeth that begin to emerge around 6 months of age and are typically all present by age 3. There are 20 baby teeth in total, and while they’re temporary, their role is anything but minor.

Why Are Baby Teeth Important?

1. Guide Permanent Teeth into Place

Baby teeth serve as placeholders for the permanent teeth that will grow in later. When they are lost too early due to decay or trauma, the remaining teeth can shift into the empty spaces, leading to crowding or misalignment. This may require orthodontic treatment down the line.

2. Support Speech Development

Teeth play a vital role in helping children form sounds and speak clearly. Healthy baby teeth ensure that your child can learn to communicate effectively during critical developmental stages.

3. Enable Proper Chewing and Nutrition

Baby teeth help children chew and break down food properly, ensuring they receive the nutrition they need for growth. Decayed or missing teeth can make eating uncomfortable, leading to picky eating or poor dietary habits.

4. Impact Jaw and Facial Development

The presence of healthy baby teeth supports proper jaw growth and alignment. They stimulate the jawbone and muscles as your child chews, contributing to balanced facial development.

5. Build Healthy Oral Habits

Caring for baby teeth helps instill good oral hygiene habits from an early age. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits teach children the importance of dental care, setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Common Myths About Baby Teeth

Let’s debunk some misconceptions about baby teeth:

Myth: Baby teeth don’t need to be brushed. Fact: Even baby teeth are susceptible to cavities. Start brushing as soon as the first tooth appears.

Myth: Cavities in baby teeth don’t matter since the teeth will fall out. Fact: Cavities can lead to pain, infections, and problems with permanent teeth. Early intervention is crucial.

Myth: It’s okay to wait until age 3 for the first dental visit. Fact: The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children see a dentist by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting.

How to Keep Baby Teeth Healthy

Start Early Oral Care Clean your baby’s gums with a damp cloth before teeth emerge. Once teeth appear, brush twice daily with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste.

Encourage Healthy Eating Avoid sugary snacks and drinks, especially at bedtime, as they increase the risk of cavities.

Schedule Regular Dental Visits Early and consistent dental checkups allow us to monitor your child’s oral health and address potential issues early.

Protect Against Tooth Decay Dental sealants and fluoride treatments are simple preventive measures that can safeguard your child’s teeth.

The Convergent Dentistry Approach to Pediatric Care

At Convergent Dentistry, we understand that your child’s smile is precious. Our compassionate team takes a gentle, fun approach to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your child. We’re here to partner with you in building the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.Schedule Your Child’s First Visit Today! Don’t underestimate the importance of baby teeth.

10 Tips for a Stress-Free First Dentist Visit for Your Child

Your child’s first visit to the dentist is a big milestone—one that sets the tone for their future dental care. At Dentistry on 14, we understand that this experience can be both exciting and nerve-wracking for parents and children alike. A little preparation can go a long way in making the visit stress-free and even enjoyable! Here are 10 tips to ensure your child’s first dental visit is a positive one.

1. Start Early

The Canadian Dental Association recommends scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help your child get used to the dental environment and allow us to catch any potential issues early.

2. Choose the Right Dentist

Select a dental practice that specializes in children or has experience working with young patients. At Dentistry on 14, our team uses a gentle and friendly approach to make kids feel comfortable and welcome.

3. Talk About the Visit Positively

Build excitement and curiosity about the upcoming appointment. Use positive language like, "The dentist will help your teeth stay shiny and healthy," instead of focusing on potential discomfort or fear.

4. Read Books or Watch Videos

There are plenty of kid-friendly books and shows about visiting the dentist. Stories like “Peppa Pig Goes to the Dentist” or “The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist” can help your child know what to expect in a fun and relatable way.

5. Schedule the Appointment Wisely

Choose a time when your child is well-rested and in a good mood, such as the morning or after a nap. Avoid scheduling during nap time or meals to reduce the chances of crankiness.

6. Practice at Home

Role-play a dentist visit at home by pretending to be the dentist and examining your child’s teeth. Let them “check” your teeth, too, to make it a fun and interactive experience. This helps familiarize them with the process.

7. Pack Comfort Items

Bring along a favorite toy, blanket, or stuffed animal to provide comfort and a sense of security during the visit.

8. Be a Calm Role Model

Children pick up on their parents’ emotions, so stay relaxed and confident. Avoid using words like "pain," "shot," or "drill," even if you’re trying to explain something. Focus on the positive aspects of the visit instead.

9. Prepare for Wiggles and Questions

It’s normal for young children to feel wiggly or curious during their first visit. Our team at Dentistry on 14 knows how to engage children and guide them through the appointment with patience and care.

10. Reward Their Bravery

Celebrate the successful visit with praise or a small reward. Whether it’s a sticker, a trip to the park, or a special treat, positive reinforcement will help your child associate dental visits with good feelings.

What to Expect During the First Visit

Your child’s first dental visit is typically short and focuses on helping them feel comfortable in the dental chair. We’ll:

Examine their teeth and gums to check for any potential issues.

Discuss proper brushing and flossing techniques with you.

Answer any questions you have about your child’s oral health.

Our goal is to create a foundation of trust and positivity that will make future visits a breeze.Start Your Child’s Dental Journey with Confidence At Dentistry on 14, we’re dedicated to providing a fun, stress-free dental experience for kids and their families. Contact us today to schedule your child’s first visit and set the stage for a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles.

The federal government unveiled details about its highly anticipated Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) earlier on Monday.  The CDCP is a $13-billion insurance program that will start covering most basic dentistry costs next year for uninsured Canadians with a household income under $90,000. That's about nine million Canadians, according to the federal government. In its current form, the plan is expected to cost the federal treasury about $4.4 billion per year.
