Tooth Loss and Decline in Functional Capacity

This large-scale cohort study explored the connection between tooth loss and changes in the functional capacity of older people. More than 60,000 participants aged 65 and older were evaluated during the 3-year study period. The findings suggest that tooth loss may be associated not only with physical and cognitive decline, but also with the ability to live independently.

A child's primary teeth, sometimes called "baby teeth," are as important as the permanent adult teeth. Learn how to care for your baby's teeth, teething and more.

Teething....
Although newborns usually have no visible teeth, most start developing baby teeth between 4-7 months of age. Children usually have their full set of 20 primary teeth in place by age 3.

Teething Symptoms

As their teeth erupt, some babies may become fussy, sleepless and irritable, lose their appetite or drool more than usual. Diarrhea, rashes and a fever are not normal for a teething baby. If your infant has a fever or diarrhea while teething or continues to be cranky and uncomfortable, call your physician.

How to Soothe a Teething Baby?

Your child may have sore or tender gums when teeth begin to erupt. Gently rubbing their gums with a clean finger, a small cool spoon, or a moist gauze pad can be soothing. A clean teething ring for your child to chew on may also help. Your dentist or pediatrician may recommend a pacifier or teething ring.

Caring for Your Child's New Teeth

You should start regular dental check-ups for your child after their first tooth appears, but no later than their first birthday.
Begin cleaning your baby’s mouth during the first few months after birth by wiping the gums with a clean, moist gauze pad or washcloth. As soon as teeth appear, decay can occur. A baby’s front four teeth usually push through the gums at about 6 months of age, although some children don’t have their first tooth until 12 or 14 months.
For children younger than 3 years, caregivers should begin brushing children’s teeth as soon as they begin to come into the mouth by using fluoride toothpaste in an amount no more than a
smear or the size of a grain of rice. Brush teeth thoroughly twice per day (morning and night) or as directed by a dentist or physician. Supervise children’s brushing to ensure that they use of the appropriate amount of toothpaste.
For children 3 to 6 years of age, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Brush teeth thoroughly twice per day (morning and night) or as directed by a dentist or physician. Supervise
children’s brushing and remind them not to swallow the toothpaste.
