Dentistry Outreach to Vredenburg
The faculty of Dentistry held another very successful outreach programme in Vredenburg during the last weekend in May 2011. Twelve students from 3 different year-groups left the faculty at 14:00 on Friday 27 April and travelled to Vredenburg, set up the portable equipment at the Hanna Coetzee clinic in Louwville. The team then spent the night at a guest house in Saldanha.
“Dr Costa Saridakis also joined us – and what is noteworthy about this is that he is a private practitioner with a passion for serving the community. He also did not get any remuneration for his services – truly an example to us all.”

How can I help stop cavities?
Everyone in your family should take good care of their teeth. Family members with lots of cavities can pass the cavity-causing bacteria to babies and children.
Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day and adults should floss once a day. Everyone should see the dentist twice a year. Have your doctor or dentist show you the right way to brush your child’s teeth.

Does diet affect my child’s teeth?
Yes. Avoiding sweets, sticky foods and between-meal snacks is good advice. To avoid cavities, limit sweet snacks and drinks between meals. Have meals and snacks at regular times. Teeth-friendly snacks include fresh fruits and vegetables, and cheese and crackers.
Baby bottles can create additional problems with your child’s dental health. When liquid from a bottle–like milk and juice–stays in contact with the teeth for a long time, the sugars cause tooth decay. This can create a condition called bottle mouth. Your baby’s teeth can develop cavities and become pitted or discolored. Never put a baby to bed with a bottle. Don’t let your child walk around during the day with a bottle, and teach your child to use a drinking cup around his or her first birthday.

My child sucks their thumb, is this a problem?
It’s normal for children to suck their thumbs, their fingers or a pacifier. Most children give up this habit on their own by age 4, with no harm done to their teeth. If your child still has a sucking habit after age 4, tell your dentist. Your dentist can watch carefully for any problems as the teeth develop. In most children there is no reason to worry about a sucking habit until around age 6, when the permanent front teeth come in.

At what age should I start taking my child to the dentist?
It is recommended that parents take their child to a dentist no later than his or her first birthday. This gives the dentist a chance to look for early problems with your child’s teeth. Pediatric dentists specialize in treating children’s dental health. You and your child’s dentist should review important information about diet, bottles, tooth brushing and fluoride use. Visiting the dentist from a young age will help your child become comfortable with his or her dentist. It also establishes the good habit of regular dental check-ups.
