"Brushing battles to brighter smiles"

🦷✨ Oral Hygiene Awareness for Parents of Children with ADHD ✨🦷

In collaboration with the ADHD Foundation Nepal.
I was privileged to hold a fruitful session discussing about supporting parents in helping their little ones with ADHD develop healthy dental habits. 💙 Children with ADHD may face challenges like short attention spans, sensory sensitivities, or difficulty following routines — all of which can make oral care tricky.

In this class, we discussed:
✅ Practical brushing and flossing tips tailored for children with ADHD
✅ How to turn oral hygiene into a fun, structured routine
✅ The role of diet in preventing cavities
✅ Positive reinforcement techniques for stress-free dental care

Every child deserves a healthy, confident smile, and with the right strategies, parents can make dental care a positive part of daily life. 🌟

Let’s work together to build healthy habits early and ensure brighter smiles for our children! 💫

🦷💙 Oral Hygiene Awareness Session for Parents of Children with Autism 🧩✨

I had the privilege of conducting a special oral hygiene awareness class for parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 💬

Caring for the oral health of children with autism comes with its own set of challenges — from sensory sensitivities to communication barriers. This session focused on:

✅ Understanding common oral health issues in children with autism
✅ Practical brushing techniques tailored for sensory needs
✅ How to build daily routines that include oral care
✅ Tips for dental visits and behavior management
✅ Foods and habits that promote better oral health

🪥 I shared simple tools, visual aids, and adaptive techniques that can make brushing easier and more effective.
Most importantly, I listened to parents' experiences and offered personalized guidance.

💖 A big salute to all the caregivers who work tirelessly every day. Your involvement makes a world of difference in your child’s overall health and smile!

Let’s continue working together to ensure that every child, regardless of their needs, has access to healthy, happy smiles. 🌟

A Peek Into the Operatory: Balancing Comfort & Caution ✨🦷

Today, I had a young patient who was understandably anxious about his dental treatment. To ease his discomfort, I used an audio-visual aid — one of our go-to tools to gently distract and calm children during procedures. It worked wonderfully to get us through the appointment smoothly. 🎧📺

However, I noticed something deeper — this child seemed heavily dependent on screen time for comfort and focus, almost unable to disengage from it even after the procedure. This brought up an important question for me as both a pediatric dentist and a healthcare provider:

➡️ Are we helping by using screens, or are we reinforcing a reliance?
➡️ Where do we draw the line between therapeutic distraction and digital dependency?

While screens can be incredibly helpful for short-term behavior management in the clinic, they are not a long-term solution — especially when a child is already showing signs of screen addiction.

In such cases, we need to:
✅ Use screens mindfully and sparingly
✅ Involve parents in discussions about balanced screen time
✅ Explore alternative distraction techniques like storytelling, guided breathing, fidget toys, or music
✅ Refer or advise families if screen dependency becomes concerning

Every child is unique, and our approach should be too — rooted in empathy, health, and long-term well-being.

"We noticed some thread around your child's tooth—thank you for bringing them in!"
Sometimes, families try the old trick of tying a string around a loose tooth to pull it out. It’s a very common idea passed down over generations, but we now know it’s not the safest or most comfortable method for children.
What You Can Do Instead:
Encourage your child to gently wiggle the tooth with their finger or tongue if it’s loose.
Avoid tying anything to the tooth or pulling it forcefully.
If the tooth is bothering them or you’re unsure if it’s ready to come out, just give us a call. We’re happy to take a look and guide you.
Pediatric dentists are here for you ❤️
