Q uestion 1: W hat is the most common chronic childhood disease? (This will surprise you.) Q uestion 2: W hat adds more sugar to a typical two-year- olds diet than cookies, candies and ice cream combined? (Hint: it isn’t bubblegum .) Q uestion 3: W hat is an im p o rta n t re a s o n O r e g o n ’s pregnant wom en and parents o f babies and toddlers should pay even more attention to childhood dental health than residents o f most states? Okay, let’s look at the answ ers. The m ost com m on chronic childhood d isease is tooth decay, affecting five to eight tim es m ore children than asthma. It’s a disturbing fact, yet the problem is considered largely p rev en tab le. A larm ingly, 20 percen t o f children ages six months to three years are at high risk for early childhood cavities, a costly and devastating condition also known as “baby bottle tooth decay.” Prevention is important because early childhood cavities h a v e b e e n lin k e d to o th e r childhood health conditions such as ear and sinus in fe c tio n s, d e la y e d g ro w th and developm ent, speech problem s and low self-esteem. Opportunities to prevent tooth decay begin even before ch ild b irth . P regnant w om en s h o u ld p r a c tic e g o o d o ra l hygiene, see their dentist and, if they are at high risk for tooth decay or periodontal disease, perhaps use a prescribed anti bacterial rinse. In the crib, don’t leave baby nursing on a bottle. Introduce oral hygiene at the first sign o f a tooth. D uring the first three years, if the child is at high risk for decay a dentist may paint fluoride on the teeth. Don’t permit the child to graze on sugary high- carbohydrate foods and drinks such as juices, candy and cereals. And regularly check the child’s gum line for white spots on front teeth that signal the start o f decay. F or a helpful W ebsite, log on to www.ada.org and select oral health topics. I f you guessed that the answ er to the second question was “ soda pop,” m ove to the head o f the class.

Failure to follow some simple rules o f good dental health are among the reasons 57 percent o f Oregon children in first through third grades have had cavities, 24 percent have untreated decay and 16 percent (that’s almost one in six) have rampant decay. A s a result, O regon is paying increasing attention to dental health. The state recently won federal grants to establish a statew ide oral-health program a n d to s ta r t d e n ta l-s e a la n t programs in Oregon schools. The O regon H ealth Plan has begun working closely with medical and dental professionals to tackle the problem. This relates to the third question: Oregonians should pay special attention to good dental h e a lth b e c a u s e so few Oregonians live in communities w ith fluoridated water. Only 25 percent o f O regon’s population has fluoridated water, compared w ith 62 p e rc e n t n a tio n a lly . Oregon ranks 45th in this proven decay preventative. Like the tests O regon students will take in school this year, this is serious business with long-term consequences. But, like studying to avoid failing the school exam , good oral health also can be won by a healthy dose o f prevention. 217 North Main • Heppner 676-9158 *4 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 Lillian Marie Feist- a daughter, Lillian Marie, was bom N ov. 2 2 , 2002 at G ood Shepherd M edical C enter in H erm iston to M iranda M arie Feist o f Heppner.
