-Brush teeth after each meal or at least twice a day -Apply a small amount of paste to the toothbrush -Use a gentle scrubbing motion and hold brush at 45 degrees -No excessive force -Brush for at least 2 minutes, cleaning all tooth surfaces -Brush tongue -Rinse mouth and spit
64
Differentiation of Tooth Hx and Toothache
Tooth Hx: Exposed and open dentin tubules Stimuli cause fluid in dentinal tubules to expand and shrink, which stimulates pulp nerve fibers and results in pain Caused by attrition, abrasion, erosion, etc. Sx is a quick, fleeting, sharp or stabbing pain Hx due to attrition, abrasion, or erosion is self treatable, and all others require dental referral Toothache: Bacterial invasion extending to the pulp Inflammatory response to invading bacteria stimulates free nerve endings in the pulp Caused by cavitation/decay present in tooth/teeth under existing restoration, etc. Pain that remains even in absence of stimulus Requires dental referral in all cases

83
Basic requirements for a healthy diet
Water Carbs Proteins and Amino Acids Fat and essential fatty acids Micronutrients
84
Water requirements
Holliday-Segar method First 10 kg: 100 mL/kg Second 10 kg: 50 mL/kg Each additional kg: 20 mL/kg *Greater needs for premature infants *Daily fluid losses: Urine, evaporation from skin/lungs, feces Ex: 22.8 kg child 1000 + 500 + 40 + 16 1556 mL water
85
Carbs requirements
40-50% of daily caloric needs *Primary source for infants is from lactose (human milk - or milk based formula) *Balance with fat intake for proper neurologic development *Fiber from cereals, green veggies, legumes (6-12 months)
86
Proteins and amino acid requirments
Total body protein increases from 11 to 15% of body weight in 1st year Human milk protein content changes with growing infant needs *Preterm infants have higher protein needs Essential AA: His, Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Thr, Trp, Val *Cys and Thr not essential Taurine is especially important -High amounts in human milk, and supplemented in all formulas -Not source of energy -Cell membrane protector, conjugates bile acids -Deficiency: affects vision, hearing, and fat absorption
87
Fat and Essential Fatty Acids Requirements
*9 kcal/gram (vs 4 kcal/gram for protein/carb) 50% of non-protein energy in human milk/formula Fat is needed for proper growth and development *Do not restrict fat if younger than 2 years unless advised to do so Age 12 months to 2 years and at increased risk for CVD: reduced fat milk products as advised by medical professional 2 essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) Arachidonic Acid (ARA) Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) *If you give DHA without ARA it can lead to growth suppression *Don't supplement while pregnant or lactating Essential fatty acid deficiency is rare in the US Linoleic acid = most of PUFAs in formulas
88
Micronutrients requirements
1. Formulas supplemented to meet daily needs 2. Human milk needs fortification to meet needs of premature infants
89
Infant Food Sources
Human milk Animal milk Commercial infant formulas
90
Human milk
Infants should be breast feed for first 6 months and through 12 months if appropriate
91
Benefits of breast feeding
-optimal nutrient source for infant -improved bonding -decreased risk of infant infections -decreased risk of SIDs, diabetes, etc. -possible enhanced performance on cognitive development -decreased bleeding (menstrual and post partum) -decreased risk of cancer and other diseases
92
Contraindications to breast and chest feeding
1. HIV infection 2. Infant galactosemia 3. Parental untreated TB 4. Parental human T cell lymphotropic virus type I or II 5. Presence of a herpes simplex lesion on the breast 6. Parental use of contraindicated meds
93
Animal Milk
Cow: Don't use for infants < 1 yr Avoid evaporated milk Reduced fat NOT for < 2 years Source of commercially prepared, milk based infant formula Goat: Fat digested more easily than cow milk Must be fortified with folate iron and vitamin D
94
Commercial infant formulas
4 types: Premature, newborn, infant/toddler, or specific health condition Manufactured as: 3 basic types: milk-based, soy protein, or casein hydrolysate based 3 formulations: concentrated liquid, powder, or ready to feed *Standard, fortifier, therapeutic, and modular Varying compositions to best feed individual infant needs
95
Standard formula considerations
Liquid formulations manufactured to be sterile -Powdered formulations not required or guaranteed to be sterile *Premature and immunocompromised infants should only receive liquid formulations STANDARD CALORIC DENSITY: 20 KCAL/OZ Can fortify or increased conc by altering amount of water added but only do so with medical advice
96
Modular macronutrient components
Can add to either human milk or infant formula; alternative to concentrated formula *Use macronutrients components only with medical advice **PROTEIN POWDER, carbohydrates, fat, combinations -More expensive and time-consuming than concentrating formula -Use modular when you only need to add a single ingredient or when you don't need to concentrate further
97
Human milk fortifiers
Parents who give birth to premature infants produce breast/chest milk that is higher in nutrients Need to supplement in addition to breast milk -All supplementation products are liquid (and sterile) -Mixed into 60-100 mL of human milk
98
Therapeutic formulas
For infants with health conditions that require a dietary adjustment *Used with medical supervision*
99
Number of daily feedings
Younger the baby the more feedings you need need to do *avoid over and under feeding
100
When to call a medical provider for diarrhea and vomiting
Potential formula-related cause if incorrect dilution of concentrated product or incorrect addition of modular product Severe More than 72 hours Bloody stool Projectile vomiting or green, bilious vomiting
101
Diarrhea or vomiting in infants

Types of UVR
UVA: HIGHEST range suppress immune system and damages DNA Premature photoaging and skin cancers Enhances effects of UVB UVB: MIDDLE range most active UVR for causing erythema & sunburn radiation Primary cause of skin cancer and responsible for photoaging Synthesis of vitamin D in skin *Can penetrate windows UVC: LOWEST range Mostly screened out by ozone layer but some is emitted by artificial sources of UVR Absorbed by dead cells in the stratum corneum
183
Sunburn
acute reaction to excessive UVR exposure --> inflammation of the skin Sx: redness, swelling, pain 3-5 hours after exposure, usually resolved by 72 hrs
184
Suntan
UVR stimulates melanocytes in skin to generate and distribute melanin
185
Phototoxicity
More common Exaggerated sunburn (burning +/- painful redness, edema, vesicles) *30 min to 24 hrs after sun exposure Immune based --> No Prior exposure --> No; usually first exposure Not dose related
186
Photoallergy
Pruritic (itching), swollen/raised lesions, welts *1-3 days after exposure Immune based: UVA triggers an antigen based reaction in the skin because the drug is in the person's body Prior exposure: Yes, usually at least 1 prior exposure to the drug Not dose related
187
Skin cancer
Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC): Sun exposed areas (face, head, neck, backs of hands) 2 types: Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma Melanoma: Origingates in the melanocytes Less common but more aggressive 30% come from existing moles Risk factors for Melanoma: Prior history of excessive sun exposure or sunburns
188
Goals for preventing UVR induced skin disorders
Short term: Avoid or minimize: Sunburn, Drug photoallergy, phototoxicity Long term: Prevent skin cancer Prevent premature skin aging
189
Non drug prevention for sun burn
Avoid sun from 10 am to 4 pm Avoid tanning beds Protective clothing - darker color, tighter fabric weave -Hat with 4 in brim -Long pants -Long sleeved shirt -Sun glasses *protect eyes from cataract formation
190
Minimal Erythema Dose (MED)
Used to calculate sunscreen's SPF Minimum UVR dose that produces sunburn as a single exposure 2 MEDs = bright skin reddening 4 MEDs = painful sunburn 8 MEDs = blistering sunburn Sun protection factor (SPF): an indication of how long a sunscreen remains effective when applied to the skin
191
What SPF is the sweet spot?
30 *To decrease possible toxicities
192
Broad spectrum
High protection against UVA and UVB
193
Types of sunscreens
Chemical sunscreens MOA: absorb UVR = block rays from going into epidermis Concerns: skin irritation, possible hormone disruption Physical sunscreens Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide MOA: reflect and scatter UVR Broad spectrum
194
Sunscreen dosing
