Jessica Glenza at The Guardian:

A bill introduced by the US senator Bernie Sanders would dramatically expand access to oral healthcare by adding dental benefits to Medicare and enhance them in Medicaid, public health insurance programs that together cover 115 million older and lower-income Americans.

Despite Americans’ reputation for the flashy “Hollywood smile”, millions struggle to access basic dental care. One in five US seniors have lost all their natural teeth, almost half of adults have some kind of gum disease and painful cavities are one of the most common reasons children miss school. “Any objective look at the reality facing the American people recognizes there is a crisis in dental care in America,” Sanders told the Guardian in an exclusive interview. “Imagine that in the richest country in the world.” Nearly 69 million adults and almost 7 million children lack dental insurance. For those who have insurance, costs are often opaque and high. Multi-thousand-dollar bills are so common that the nation’s largest professional organization for dentists, the American Dental Association (ADA), signed an exclusive partnership with a medical credit card company. In 2019, more than 2 million Americans went to the emergency room for tooth pain, a 62% increase since 2014, and a crisis of affordability pushed an estimated 490,000 Americans to travel to other countries such as Mexico for lower-cost dental care.

“The issue of dental care is something we have been working on for years,” said Sanders. “It is an issue I think tens of millions of Americans are deeply concerned about, but it really hasn’t quite gotten the media attention it deserves.” Sanders said he had seen how poor dental health can affect every aspect of a person’s life – he described constituents who cover their mouths when they laugh or have been turned down for jobs because of missing teeth. Sanders said he recognized the importance of the issue by attending town halls in his home state of Vermont, “and learning how hard it is to get dental care, how expensive it is and [how] dental insurance [is] totally inadequate”. “Having bad teeth or poor teeth is a badge of poverty,” said Sanders. “It becomes a personal issue, a psychological issue, an economic issue as well.”

Sanders’ bill expands dental coverage by adding comprehensive benefits to Medicare; incentivizing states to improve dental benefits through Medicaid; and providing dental benefits to veterans through the Veterans Administration. Additionally, the bill would attempt to tackle some states’ dentist shortage by creating student loan forgiveness programs for dentists who practice in underserved areas, and increasing funding to non-traditional places to see dentists, including at community health centers and schools. Expanding dental coverage is exceedingly popular – recent polls show 92% of voters support the proposal, including an overwhelming majority of Republicans. Sanders said his proposal was good policy and “very good politics”.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has proposed a bill called the Comprehensive Dental Reform Act that would dramatically increase coverage for dental care for Medicaid and Medicare patients.

Dental Health in Children: When to Begin and What to Expect 

Maintaining good dental health in children begins at a young age and sets the basis for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Dr. Nivesh Kakkar's Kakkar Dental Clinic in Ashok Vihar, New Delhi, emphasises the need for early tooth care and education. This article will address the essentials of children's dental health, as well as guidance on when to schedule checks, what to expect during these sessions, and how to encourage healthy oral hygiene practices at home.

Early Dental Treatment Is Crucial

A child's journey toward optimal oral health starts long before their first tooth erupts. Early dental care routine development can help to avoid oral health issues later on and foster lifelong healthy habits. It is advised by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) that children see a dentist by the time they become one year old or within six months of the emergence of their first tooth. There are several reasons why this early visit is crucial.

How to Create a Dental Home:

Your child can receive complete oral health treatment in a dental home. It helps foster a bond between the child and the dentist and offers continuity of service.

Early Problem Identification:

Frequent examinations make it possible to identify possible issues early on, such as tooth decay or misalignment, so that treatment can begin before the condition gets worse.

Parent Education: 

Parents should use the initial appointment as an opportunity to inquire about their child's diet, oral health, and appropriate dental care methods.

When to Begin Seeing a Dentist

1.   From birth to 6 months:

Even before teeth sprout, parents should begin wiping their infant's gums after feedings with a damp washcloth. This eliminates bacteria and establishes a routine.

Infants who are put to sleep with bottles that are filled with sugary drinks have an early risk of tooth decay.

2.  Between 6 months and 1 year:

It's time for the first dental checkup as soon as the first tooth erupts, which typically happens between six and twelve months.

At this point, parents ought to begin using water and a toothbrush with soft bristles to brush their child's teeth.

3.  1 Year and Beyond:

Kids should keep going to the dentist every six months after their first birthday.

At the moment when two teeth come into contact, apply fluoride toothpaste in tiny amounts (about the size of a rice grain).

What to anticipate from dental appointments

At Kakkar Dental Clinic, Dr. Nivesh Kakkar's main goal is to make your child's first dental visit joyful. This is how things typically work out:

First Inspection:

Learning:

Treatment with Fluoride:

Establishing Comfort

Creating Healthful Habits for Oral Hygiene

Once your child has started going to the dentist on a regular basis, it is critical to instill good dental hygiene habits at home:

Using a brush:

Using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste for children aged 2 to 6, brush your child's teeth twice a day.

Until the child reaches the age of eight, supervise their brushing to make sure they are doing it correctly.

Taking care of:

As soon as two teeth come into contact, begin flossing.

When your child is old enough, teach them how to carefully floss between their teeth.

Nutritious Diet:

Cut out on sugary drinks and snacks as these can cause cavities.

Promote wholesome snacks such as cheese, yogurt, fruits, and veggies.

Frequent Examinations:

Make dentist appointments for cleanings and exams every six months.

Watch for any indications of dental problems, such as tooth discolouration or sensitivity.

Common Dental Problems in Kids

Parents who are aware of prevalent dental issues can take preventative action:

Cavities: One of the most common long-term illnesses affecting children is tooth decay. It happens when bacteria break down meal carbohydrates into acids that weaken tooth enamel.

Gum Disease: Children are susceptible to gingivitis just like adults are. Gums that swell or bleed when brushing are warning signs.

Misalignment: Children's jaws may not expand uniformly as they get older, which can cause misaligned teeth or bite problems that may eventually need orthodontic treatment.

In summary

Ensuring the oral health of children is crucial for maintaining healthy smiles throughout their lives. Preventing dental problems in the future requires starting dental appointments by the time a child turns one and developing strong oral hygiene practices at home. Dr. Nivesh Kakkar and his staff at the Kakkar Dental Clinic in Ashok Vihar are committed to offering complete paediatric dental care that is customised to meet your child's needs. We cordially encourage you to set up an appointment right now and begin the process of ensuring your child's radiant smile!

This is not my usual content but I find it important to talk about. I've been looking through the Gaza Family Funds Directory that I found through Operation Olive Branch and I've found three families that particularly stuck with me.

🍉 GoFundMe Info : Ghada's family

Ghada Abdulfatah is a palestinian pharmacist trying to evacuate 22 members across 4 families, including 8 children (all under age 16).

Their home, was completely demolished by Israeli missiles and they have no home to go back to. Her family had to evacuate multiple times until the Isreali army requested they evacuate from the north of Gaza valley to the south with nothing to substain them. They eventually evacuated to the south where they were separated.

One of her sister and husband's home is partially destroyed, their private dental clinic was bombed. Both her parents have chronic cardiovascular diseases that require daily intake of medications and periodic physical checks and possible emergency interventions. Due to the complete collapse of the health infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, there is no medication or hospitals to welcome them if needed.

🫒 GoFundMe Info : Dina's family

Dina Aljazzar is currently in Canada while the rest of her family is still in Gaza. She currently raising funds to evacuate 14 family members, 7 adults and 7 children.

Before October 7th, her father was a successful buisnessman, her mother was a teacher with UNRWA and her siblings were university students. Her brother substained a severe head injury and after a 2 week coma, he was released from a hospital due to the lack of resources.

🍉 GoFundMe Info : Vittorio's family

Vittorio Elburai is a 12 years old Palestinian/Canadian boy raising funds to evacuate his family so they can join him safely in Canada.

He was born and raised in Gaza, where he lived happily with his entire family until his parents decided to flee after the 2021 attack on Gaza and relocated in Canada for their safety.

His 81 years old grandma endured lasting childhood trauma from her first experience with ethnic cleansing in 1948. She lives with his uncles, Mohammed and Khaled, their home is currently housing 15 families that lost their own during the Israeli bombing.

DISCLAMER : To get all the information about their situations in greater details, I strongly recommend checking out their GoFundMes. My abbrievated version of their letters will not get you the full picture of their specific situations.

FUN FACTS ABOUT TEETH

Tooth development begins before birth, with baby teeth forming during the embryonic stage. They start erupting through the gums around 6 months after birth.

Children typically have 20 primary teeth, commonly known as baby teeth. As they grow, these teeth fall out to make way for permanent teeth, which number 32 in adults.

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, even stronger than bone. It’s made up of a mineral called hydroxyapatite, which provides strength and protection to the teeth.

The inside of a tooth contains sensitive nerves and blood vessels in the pulp. When tooth decay or damage exposes these nerves, it can lead to toothaches and sensitivity.

Humans have four types of teeth — incisors, canines, premolars, and molars — each adapted for specific functions like cutting, tearing, and grinding food.

Tooth decay, a widespread chronic condition, occurs when bacterial acids erode tooth enamel over time.

Like fingerprints, dental arrangements are unique to each individual, making dental records valuable for identification purposes, similar to forensic fingerprinting.

In ancient civiliSations, people used a variety of materials to clean their teeth, including crushed eggshells, charcoal, and even twigs.

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood. They were historically useful for processing a rougher diet, but in modern times, they often require removal due to lack of space and potential issues.

Similar to dental arrangements, everyone has a unique tongue print, making it a potential biometric identifier.

What Are the Benefits of Visiting a Dental Clinic in Hari Nagar?

Dental health is addressed by Dentistry at every stage of life. From baby teeth to permanent teeth, children's dental needs differ from those of adults. Qualified family dentists provide complete oral care. Family dentistry is concerned with dental health and oral hygiene, just as general Dentistry. A family dentist, however, emphasizes the special requirements of kids of all ages.

Strong teeth and gums are important for overall health, according to our dental clinic in Hari Nagar. To help you achieve your optimal level of oral health, our team of highly qualified dental specialists is committed to providing you with the most innovative and effective treatments.

We offer a wide range of services, including prosthodontics, periodontics, implantology, endodontics, orthodontics, general dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. We have the newest equipment and technology at our state-of-the-art facility to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible.

Treatments for Gum disease

Family dentists are aware of how children's teeth develop throughout time as well as the possibility that they may be afraid of the dentist. Family dentists take a soft approach to help kids form lifelong healthy oral hygiene habits and positive connections with routine dental exams. The top dental clinics in Hari Nagar will offer a wide range of services, including more complex procedures like root canals, tooth whitening, and routine checkups and cleanings. 

The following six advantages of having a family dentist are:

1. Easy access

Family dentists may treat patients of all ages for a variety of dental issues, so patients won't need to make many trips to the dentist to provide all members of their family routine checkups. Therefore, oral hygiene and cosmetic needs such as veneers, braces, or implants can be taken care of together.The best dentist in Subhash Nagar also offers emergency procedures, such as extractions, to help patients in taking care of any pressing dental difficulties.

2. Scheduled appointments

Family dentists frequently work with patients to schedule an appointment time that works with their schedules. To better serve their patients' requirements, many family dentists, for instance, are willing to accept late appointments.

3. Identifying oral health issues

Early diagnosis of dental issues is facilitated by routine dental checkups. They conduct exams, X-rays, and computer modelling to provide forecasts on oral health problems. A few conditions that can be identified early on include malocclusion, grinding, and attrition brought on by abnormalities in the jaw.

4. Preventive

A family dentist will advise both adults and children on how to prevent serious and widespread issues like tooth decay. They also give the teeth fluoride and sealant treatments.

5. Medication

Of course, they are also in charge of treating dental issues like crowding, misalignment, and other issues. A committed practice will go through all of the available therapy choices with the patient. They will help create a therapy strategy that meets the needs of the patient.

6. Education and updates

To give the patient the finest dental care possible, family dentists will also educate them on proper toothpaste usage, diet, and other topics. They will provide information on the state of the family's oral health as well as the newest techniques and technology in dentistry that can improve the general dental care of the family.

Conclusion

Every member of our staff is dedicated to offering the greatest patient care and customer service to ensure that every patient leaves our clinic smiling. You don't need to look any further for an excellent facility than the Dental Clinic in Hari Nagar.

Waiting for the Dentist

Waiting rooms are a strange place, especially waiting rooms for doctors and dentists. I like to people watch, and you can see all sorts of reactions when people are waiting for the dentist.

There are the people who do their best to avoid the dentist, only going when they know something is wrong. There’s usually an air of anxious anticipation around these people. They know something is wrong. They wouldn’t be there if they didn’t. It’s simply a matter of assessing how bad the damage is. Some of them meet their fate with stoic resolution. When their name is called, they rise and march off to meet the dentist with a stern expression on their face and their shoulders squared. Others have to be coaxed into meeting the dentist whilst still others almost need to be dragged.

In all seriousness, though, try to see your dentist regularly if you can afford it. Prevention is usually much less expensive and less painful than a cure. Sadly, however, dental care is not always affordable despite it playing such a major role in general health and wellbeing. A person can be healthy in every other way, but they’ll be miserable if they can’t eat without pain.

You also have the people who visit their dentist regularly and don’t have any problems. These are the people who look bored in the waiting room. They’re confident everything will be fine, and they’re just keen on getting the whole thing over with, so they can go about the rest of their day. There’s also the people who visit the dentist regularly but who tend to have problems. There’s often a sort of long-suffering sigh when they’re called to meet the dentist, and they’ll usually emerge with a look of exasperation at having to book yet another appointment to deal with whatever new problem has come up.

During my most recent visit to the dentist, there was an older lady there waiting for her appointment. At first glance, she seemed calm enough. However, as time went on, I noticed she was working through what appeared to be a set of breathing/meditation exercises. My thoughts were confirmed when she was finally called in, and she turned to the rest of the waiting room with a wan smile and said:

“Let’s just get this over with.”

My own turn with the dentist came not long after, and it went reasonably well. The geometry of my mouth can be summed up as ‘too many teeth and not enough space’. In my teens, I had braces. I also had six teeth extracted because there just wasn’t enough space for them, and removing those teeth was the only way to give my braces enough room to straighten out the remaining teeth. Nevertheless, space remains at a premium, and my back lower molars remain difficult to keep clean due to the sheer lack of space. Honestly, the best advice my dentist ever gave me was to use a children’s toothbrush to clean them because an adult toothbrush simply can’t get at them properly.

In any case, my appointment with the dentist was moved forward a week because I had begun to experience pain at the back. Now, this isn’t the first time that has happened. Due to how hard it is to keep that area properly brushed, I have occasionally ended up bruising or otherwise injuring the gum at the back. That usually clears up in a few days, and I’ll have another (painful) reminder to be more careful. On this occasion, however, the pain never fully went away.

Concerned that I might have done some real damage, I had my appointment moved forward. The cause of my pain was actually fairly innocuous and was handled quite adroitly by the dentist who spotted the issue immediately and rectified it in the space of about a minute. My compliments to her. For those who are curious, I most likely dislodged some calculus that ended up getting caught in an awkward spot and irritating the gum. I will have to come back for a filling, but that’s on a tooth that’s been watched closely for some time. Indeed, that particularly tooth has been on notice, so to speak, for the past two years or so.

Overall, I’d say my appointment with the dentist was about as pleasant as it could be. That said, I do have a complicated relationship with the profession of dentistry and the related profession of orthodontics. Honestly, it’s a miracle I’m not one of the people hunched over and looking about furtively in the waiting room like a hunted animal.

When I was a child, I had to get a tooth extracted. For whatever reason, the anaesthetic did not work properly, so you can imagine what happened when they started pulling.

Horrible, horrible screaming.

My father practically kicked the door open, it was that bad, and we stopped going to that dentist.

Later, as a teen, I was helping my orthodontist with his garden when he collapsed. Given that he was an older gent, his collapse was no small matter. I am told that I subsequently did everything right and saved his life. His wife thanked my profusely, and his daughters have done the same on the occasions I’ve run into them (one of them works in the same profession). Now, the reason I say that ‘I was told’ is because I honestly can’t remember what happened. There is a gaping hole in my memory.

Yeah.

Oh well. Apparently, even when running on auto-pilot, I knew exactly what to do and made sure to do it. That is both comforting and mildly terrifying. Thankfully, that’s the only gap I have in my memory although there is a certain morbid amusement to wondering if I have a hyper-competent alternate personality wandering around saving people.

Despite incidents like this, I’ve also been very lucky. The dental practice I’ve been going to for the past twenty years or so has been outstanding, and I count myself fortunate to have befriended the people who work there. Likewise, my orthodontist was an excellent practitioner and a great person. There is a certain kinship that can only be created by working alongside someone to tame a wild and overgrown garden, and there is a certain warmth that can only be found when enjoying scones and lemonade while overlooking the fruits of one’s labours while an old dog – blind and deaf but very friendly indeed – lounges about nearby in hopes of a scratch behind the ears or a treat.

The next time you’re waiting for the dentist, have a look around in the waiting room. Who knows what you’ll notice?

If you’re interested in my thoughts on writing and other topics, you can find those here.

I also write original fiction, which you can find on Amazon here or on Audible here. I’ve also just released a new story, Attempted Rescuing!

[thebiballerina]

I have a few suggestions on the divide here!

Ways to Collect Spares

Multiple notes have addressed that there is a country divide here with regards to toothbrushes being handed out at the dentist, so I won't go into that. Some hotels will also provide toothbrushes, so if you travel a lot in that type of place, that could also contribute to a stash of spares. If you tend to shop in bulk (and you or someone in your household uses manual toothbrushes), you also might usually have extra by default.

Rural/Urban Divide

I think your tendency to keep spare toothbrushes might be affected by how urban an area you live in. People who live in more rural or suburban areas are often more likely to have daytime/evening guests become overnight guests unexpectedly, simply because it takes more time and there are less transportation options (especially late at night) for their guests to get home. So if your guest stays later than they planned, they become intoxicated and can't drive, there is some bad weather, or there is some other barrier to their journey home, it isn't always worth it to try to find a way when it might take half the night anyway.

Plus, in less populated areas that just don't have as many things to do, you are more likely to spend time with friends at your home to begin with, rather than somewhere out and about as you might in a more busy area.

In addition, if you needed to buy a cheap toothbrush at a store, you have fewer options for stores and most stores that are around are probably not open that late. So it's genuinely less hassle to have a couple spares in your home.

Children

If you have kids, I think you are much more likely to keep spare toothbrushes, because if your kid's friend has an impromptu sleepover at your place, you definitely don't want to neglect a child's dental hygiene.

Even if you don't have children living in the home, if you are a grandparent, aunt/uncle, other relative, or involved family friend (often also referred to as an aunt/uncle) etc., and you live near the kids, you might keep toothbrushes and other necessities in case the kids stop by.

People with young adult children, and adults with siblings who are still children or young adults, might also try to be prepared for impromptu visits.

Social Circle and Socioeconomic Factors

Also, it depends on your social circle, and I do think there is a socioeconomic element to it, although not necessarily an easily definable relation. Because if you tend to have family or friends who do not have stable living situations (whether that's general housing insecurity or a permanent living situation that isn't entirely safe), you might be more likely to expect that loved ones will crash at your place in an emergency.

Conclusion: Yes, I think keeping spare toothbrushes is common, but there are a few factors that might affect the likelihood.

Honestly, this was very interesting to think about, so thank you for giving me the chance to ponder this.

Also, OP, if you are that curious, you can try a poll. It wouldn't necessarily be an unbiased sample, but it might be interesting nonetheless.

What is it about fics then, where characters always, ALWAYS, have a spare toothbrush conveniently just hanging about in bathroom cupboards for that time someone is, usually unexpectedly, staying the night?

I have lived a few decades now, and I have never known anyone who keeps spare toothbrushes. Is it really common??

Expert Pediatric Dentistry Services in Modesto: Caring for Your Child's Smile

A healthy smile for your child is perhaps the best gift you can give.Developing early age dental health care is actually a good foundation for a lifetime of all-around good health. Pediatric dentistry specializes in children's unique dental requirements. This mainly focuses on protecting and fostering growing teeth.  

Modesto's expert pediatric dental services ensure that your child receives the very best care in a safe and welcoming environment. 

Why Pediatric Dentistry Matters 

Children's dental needs differ from those of adults. From teething to the transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth, kids require tailored care to address their unique oral health challenges. Pediatric dentists are trained to manage these needs and create a positive dental experience for children. 

Here are some reasons why pediatric dentistry is essential: 

Prevent Early Dental Problems: Regular check-ups catch cavities and other issues before they become serious. 

Educate Healthy Habits: Pediatric dentists educate children on the proper brushing and flossing techniques. 

Track Growth: They track the development of your child's teeth, ensuring proper alignment and identifying potential orthodontic needs early. 

Creating Comfort: A child-friendly atmosphere helps reduce anxiety to make dental visits stress-free. 

What sets Pediatric Dentistry apart 

Pediatric dentists undergo additional training beyond general dentistry, focusing on child psychology, growth, and development. This expertise enables them to handle the behavioral aspects of treating children, including managing fear and ensuring comfort during procedures. 

The dental offices can also be quite playful and welcoming, with colorful décor, toys, and entertainment all aimed at making the children relaxed.  

Services by Pediatric Dentist Modesto 

In Modesto, you can find qualified Pediatric Dental Modesto professionals who offer the various care services that ensure the well-being of your child's smile. Here are some of the services offered: 

Regular Check-Ups and Cleanings  A regular dental visit is an important milestone toward staying healthy orally. These often include professional cleanings where the dentist removes plaques and tarts to help prevent cavities and gum disease. Pediatric dentists also monitor growth and development of your child's teeth in their check-ups. 

Fluoride Treatments  Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel so that it doesn't decay fast. Many pediatric dentists in Modesto have given precautionary fluoride treatments as a mode of prevention. 

Sealants  Dental sealants are thin protective coatings on the chewing surfaces of molars that prevent cavities. This is especially effective in children who are probably not brushing their teeth properly. 

Cavity Treatment  The pediatric dentist would provide a gentle and effective treatment if your child has developed a cavity, as they strive to restore the tooth and prevent further decay. 

Early Orthodontic Assessments  Early identification of potential alignment problems makes later orthodontic treatments easy. Pediatric dentists can refer them to proper interventions that may guide development of the jaw and teeth. 

Emergency Dental Care  Accidents do happen, and when they occur, pediatric dentists are ready to attend to dental emergencies such as chipped or knocked-out teeth. 

Education and Counseling  Parents are directed in areas like diet, thumb sucking, and oral hygiene habits to ensure their child's future dental well-being.
