Among the organizational proposals, the pediatricians is essential to enhance basic units of Pediatric primary care teams. “ The idea is that these units are integrated by a pediatrician and a nurse working in a complementary manner in relation to a same population ”, argues this pediatrician. In this sense, “ paediatric nursing model is very positive, as the exclusive dedication of a nurse to the child population generates satisfaction to the users and professionals ”, qualifies the white doctor.
Organizational challenges of the pediatricians
One of the main objectives of the pediatricians is keeping the current model of primary care Pediatrics, formed by the basic unit of Pediatrics and “ ensure the right of families to which all children have assigned a paediatrician of header ”, says the expert. In this regard highlights new challenges:
-improve coordination Hospital – primary care, based on common consensus criteria, avoiding the tendency to the hospitalcentrismo and duplication of interventions on the child population ”, something that will improve the response capacity of the pediatrician and promote monitoring of chronic processes in children.
-Develop the figure of the Coordinator for primary care pediatricians to improve the planning, coordination and evaluation of results of activity of Pediatric primary care practitioners, and to help alleviate the shortcomings in child care. This position at the moment only has presence in Madrid, Murcia and Gran Canaria.
-Encourage research and the involvement of Pediatricians of AP in the training and professional development; in drafting and management of clinical practice guidelines; in consultative and decision-making bodies of the health administrations such as the vaccine advisory committees and the Advisory Committee of the Interterritorial Council of the national system of health.

Why are cavities in children?

Why are cavities in children?
Cakes trigger the onset of dental problems among the ‘kids’
Estimates by the World Health Organization , between 60 and 90 percent of schoolchildren have dental caries , one of the most common diseases among children. Children are one of the groups most at risk because they tend to eat more often, eat more candy and also not being experts in the brush as the ‘older’, are not aware of the importance of brushing their teeth after every meal. For this reason, it is the job of the parents be aware the importance of caring for children’s teeth, whether the milk (much more ‘cuddly’ and therefore susceptible to decay more quickly destroy them), or definitive.
This monitoring is especially important during Christmas , nougat , marzipan , chocolate shortbread and become the main enemy of the dental health of children as small bacteria in the mouth have destroyed the sugar in candy, making acids that attack tooth enamel. The more candy children eat, the more likely to suffer tooth decay. The solution, however, is to eliminate the Christmas menu: simply limit (remember that sugar consumption should not exceed 10 percent of total calories you eat one child per day), offering more healthful alternatives, and reminding them to brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste always eat something sweet. Among the most ‘damaging’ to the teeth include the soft sticky (especially among children with braces), as they are easily attached to the brackets , causing bacteria to stay there long. Similarly, hard Christmas candies are very dangerous, whether you eat slowly sucking because it produces a long exposure of teeth to sugar as if they bite, they can fracture the fragile infant or destroy teeth fillings. The sweets are less harmful to teeth are softer, non-sticky, for example prepared from chocolate and nougat.

First visit to the dentist: When and how?
Experts recommend a first visit early to avoid the 'sin' associate the dentist with a bad experience
Experts recommend a first visit early to avoid the ‘sin’ associate the dentist with a bad experience
Facing new and unknown things (especially if sitting in a barber’s chair or a dentist) is always an adventure for the ‘sin’ of the house, which sometimes can be seen as a small ‘trauma’ unless we take appropriate action. For this reason and to avoid tears and unpleasant experiences , experts recommend that the first visit by children to the dentist as soon as possible: neither 1 nor 2, the ‘sin’ should first visit the dentist after the age of 3 years , and always as a routine visit or ‘check’, before there is a problem.
The first contact of children with your dentist should be linked to something nice (where possible), so as not to associate the clinical and chair of a specialist with an assault or a negative or painful experience. From there, experts recommend regular visits, two per year will be sufficient to detect any problems that the ‘sin’ may arise in their teeth , and that, normally, and at this age tend to be mostly the dreaded cavities . And this is the main dental condition that can occur during the first years of life, but is unlikely to occur if we take care: Typically, only children with a genetic predisposition or poor oral hygiene, tooth decay can begin to develop after the age of 4 years. The way to ‘fight’ from near the cradle: teach them to maintain proper hygiene habits from 2 years, a balanced diet low in sweets, and regular intake of fluoride, which strengthened from ‘little ones’ the fabric of their permanent teeth, which mineralization begins virtually at birth.

Do I have to put equipment in your teeth?
Keep in mind that while aesthetics are important, health is even more so. If the child does not chew properly, in the long run this may cause digestive problems
Experts say there is no specific age for recommending orthodontics, as it depends on each particular case.
It is increasingly common to see both children and adults with braces on the street. The dental care has become more than just a health issue and tends to take precedence over aesthetics, especially in older people, the dental health care. It is likely that your child has misplaced teeth, but this is not the only reason that orthodontics should be placed, the placement problems of the jaw also require this type of treatment. If your child’s upper jaw is bigger than the bottom there is what experts called overbite . If, however, this occurs in reverse, is called an underbite.
Major advances in orthodontics
in both cases is producing a malocclusion, which is the way for dentists to define a bad bite. This causes the occurrence of the misalignment of teeth.
The dentist says Lourdes Garcia Payo “There is no specific age at which it is recommended the use of orthodontics depends on each particular case. What is necessary is that the process of permanent dentition is complete and is not mixed, ie there are no teeth and final at the same time, but the final denture is completed. ”
What a disappointment
is normal to break the news to the child that you have to put “appliance” this represents a tremendous disappointment for the small, but the technique has advanced in all fields of life and of dentistry was not to be less, so it should be explained that besides being extremely beneficial for him in the long run, there are already clear braces, or a color very similar to the teeth to disguise their use. Even depending on the type of the little problems you have, there are braces that can be placed in the back of the teeth and are not. We must remember that aesthetics are important, but health is even more so. If the child does not chew properly, this can be a cause of digestive problems in the long run, why is so important that the professional is the need to evaluate where the small oral.

Prevent decay of your children is simple
Let your children have healthy teeth and perfect dental health requires not only a remarkable hygienic care, a concern for their diet

Going to the dentist should be a chore, as well as giving instructions for brushing your teeth, it can diagnose a problem imperceptible to the parents, who caught early can prevent complications in the long run.
Healthy eating, healthy teeth
One of the main causes of tooth decay is the frequency of consumption of sugars and / or acids in the diet, such as such as soft drinks, sweets, chocolates, etc.. This type of food as the dentist advised Lourdes Garcia-Payo , “must be offered as a rule the children as a reward. For example, you can give them during the weekends and try to replace them for the rest of the week for vegetables such as carrots, cheese or fruit such as apples also contain sugars, but not refined, which are those that cause cavities “. So, to reach children not to suffer the problem of decay is much more effective to prevent them before they happen, as it is more difficult to treat in time that are already present in the teeth.
Knowing how to clean teeth
parent education is essential for the correct explanation of cleaning the teeth of children. If parents are well aware of the technique, get their children to assimilate as a task to perform during the day on hygiene, such as showering or washing your hair. In this sense, García – Payo makes the following recommendation: “A major cause of tooth decay is the lack of oral hygiene or, conversely, poor hygiene, so it is important to ensure not only that it is done daily, but is carried out effectively. ” teeth cleaning to be effective must be taken after meals, as often we wash hands before eating. If gradually taught this to children, over time, you will not need to remind this obligation because it will take as one more routine.
