Dental Hygiene and Pediatric
Patients Special Needs :
A 6 page paper discussing some of the advantages hygienists
have over parents in influencing children and teens to practice
proper hygienic activities. As a growing segment of the
population slips between those groups eligible for public dental
care and those able to take advantage of routine private care, the
message of the hygienist has become more important than at any
other time. As a professional who is not that voice of parent,
teens also are frequently more apt to listen to the message of the
hygienist and put it into practice. The paper also addresses
what constitutes a healthy snack in the context of dental
hygiene, such as cheese for neutralizing enamel-damaging acids
and raw, crunchy fruits and vegetables for their cleansing
benefits as well as their nutrient value. Bibliography lists 8

condition
commonly known as dental phobia. There are many phobias
experienced by people. Some are afraid of heights. Others are
afraid of closed-in spaces. One big phobia among today's
population is dental phobia. Yes, that's right. The fear of
dentists and/or dental procedures is a really big one. In fact, a
surprising number of people have dental phobia. Bibliography
lists 5 sources. Phobdent2.wps
Dental Hygiene And Phobia : There are many people who, for
different reasons, have a very real and often debilitating fear of
dentists. The fear of pain or the use of a needle, an aversion to
the sights, sounds or smells that are encountered in a dentist's
office or a cultural background that lends no importance to
dental health - all of these could keep a person away from the
dentist. The solution accepted by most professionals is an
emphasis on preventative measures. Better dental care and
early intervention will decrease the probability of painful,
complicated or intrusive measures and possibly reduce the
mount of trauma associated with the visit. This 10 page paper
looks at phobia in terms of dentistry and the best strategy for an
effective influence on dental phobia - education about and strict
adherence to preventative measures such as using fluoride,
efficient personal dental care, regular visits to the dentist and
attention to the diet. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
