Huntington Park Dentists Stress the Importance of Infant Dental Care

By Josie Lynn


How many teeth does a child have? Count them... 8? 16? 20? Would you believe 52? This sounds amazing, but it's true. By birth all 20 of the baby (primary) teeth and several of the adult (permanent) teeth are forming. By age 3, almost all of the 32 permanent teeth are well on their way. What's even more amazing is that there are several steps you can take now, while your child is an infant, which will determine their oral health well into adulthood. Your Huntington Park dentist recommends you start young when caring for infant teeth.

Now that I'm settled in with my potato chip breakfast, and my chocolate chip cookie lunch is packed, I'm writing this article to settle this new increasing trend in the most absurd post workout beverage choice. I did a little research and the chocolate milk promotion makes a whole lot of sense. The study was funded by the dairy industry. Yes, they are really trying to push chocolate milk on us as a sport supplement! It seems that parents are peeved by a similar campaign directed at their youngsters. I had always known chocolate milk to cause kiddies to run up the walls, and across the ceiling until 2am. To hear it promoted as a health food is jaw-dropping.

Oral hygiene: As mentioned before, good oral hygiene is very important when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. The stronger teeth and gums you have, the better it will be. Ask questions: It is natural that you will have questions before the procedure. If need be, make a list and take it when you talk to your dentist. Clear all your doubts.

I drink half a glass or less of vanilla flavored soy milk after a workout. Its nutritional counts are similar to 1% milk and it tastes really good, thanks to the vanilla, but with an even lower sugar count. Don't forget about your protein powder. Add 1 scoop to milk or water for:100 calories2g fat25 g protein1 g sugar1 g carbs OR Use skim milk and/or protein powder (without milk just add water) to make a smoothie add:-1/2 banana, 1/2 cup OJ and fat free yogurt.-1/2 cup blueberries, fat free yogurt and 1Tbsp honey-How about chocolate protein powder, 1Tbsp peanut butter and 1/2 a banana? Yum!

Okay, if you really can't help yourself and you want to throw away that intense workout with chocolate milk, do your body a big favor and go with the 250ml carton. I can sip one of those down in less than 30 seconds and it's just not worth it! As always, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Do your research and stay informed!
