As result of the unbelievable support,- we have been able to observe a great joining of communities. Socially it has b r o u g h t to g e th e r m any peoples all of whom are helping to promote the health and education of young and old. The most important person who deserves the greatest acknowledgement possible is of course “the runner.” To the individual who worked so hard at preparing for and accepting challenge, I thank you all, Rich Little Meanus found a perfect sand dollar on the beach which was quite an event for the children. And on the way home the van was pulled over to the side of the road so all the students could w atch the w hales swimming off the coast. Impressions left on the m ind’s of the Sim nasho students varied. Each one had a favorite event to reflect upon. Spencer Poitra injoyed “seeing all the places that Lewis and Clark went,” he said. Starla Green commented that she had “never seen whales in real life.” Willard Poitra liked the Astor Column, the bumper cars and the swimming pool. Ramona Meanus liked finding a whole sand dollar. Joshua Currey liked seeing a jelly fish on the beach. Lillie Meanus liked seeing a bald eagle at the zoo. John Ross enjoyed the bumper cars and seeing the whales. Anthony Allen liked seeing the whales and the movie “Windwalker.” Corey Thomas especially liked riding the bicycles at Seaside and seeing the whales. Zeppy Rudy enjoyed seeing Fort Clatsop and all the buildings and he’s “glad Mr. Little took us to stay jin motels,” he said. B eing r e s p o n s ib le fo r fourteen students grades one through four is no easy task but teacher Rich Little had no qualms about beginning the adventure and was glad he took the students to the coast. He feels the trip has resulted in bringing them closer together. He says, “the more things we attempt as a gtoup the closer it b rin g s us to g e th e r. The students are learning that the harder they work the more we get to do. It is a real life type of thing.” Care of baby teeth is important in an effort to inform the community about items of common dental interest, a series o f articles on facts everyone should know about dental health will be presented. Question: At what ages should I take my son for his first dental checkup? What can I do to make it a pleasant experience. Answer: It’s a good idea to take your son to the dentist after all o f his baby teeth have appeared, usually around three years of age. A visit to the dentist at this early stage is very important in that it can help establish a good dental attitude that may last a life-time. The Head Start/D ay Care classes often visit the dentist b u t it is th e p a r e n t ’s responsibility to make sure their child is seen at the proper time. , The care of your son’s p r im a r y te e th is v e ry important, for they are needed for chewing, speech, and an attractive appearance. The first teeth help hold the space to allow proper positioning of the permanent teeth. Decayed baby teeth are the most common cause of crowded permanent teeth and the need for expensive o rth o d o n tic treatment. You can help make your son’s first visit to the dentist one that is pleasant and a n x ie ty -fre e by c a re fu lly explaining beforehand what to e x p ect. T alk a b o u t the upcoming visit with a positive attitude as you would about other new experience for your child. You will want to tell him that the dentist will look at his mouth and take x-ray pictures to find out how his teeth are growing. Explain how they will give his teeth a special cleaning and put some tooth protecting flouride on them. At the Warm Springs D ental Clinic no fillings or extractions are ever done on a child’s first visit. At the time of your son’s first visit it will be determined when h e w ill n e e d a n o t h e r appointment. This will depend on the condition of his teeth and whether or not flouridated water is available to him. When careful plans are made for a child’s first visit to a dentist, chances are it will be a pleasant experience for him and that he will look forward to future visits.
