DENTAL SERVICES
GENERAL DENTAL SERVICES FOR ENROLLED CHILDREN
Information for parents about Fluoride Varnish
Why do we recommend putting fluoride varnish on childrens teeth?
Tooth decay is one of the most common preventable diseases seen in children. Children as young as 1218 Mon.ths can get cavities. Cavities in baby teeth can cause pain and even prevent children from being
able to eat, speak, sleep and learn properly. Children do not lose all their baby teeth until they are
about 12 to 13 years old.
What is fluoride varnish?
Fluoride varnish is a protective coating that is painted on teeth to help prevent new cavities and to help
stop cavities that have already started.
Is fluoride varnish safe?
Yes, fluoride varnish can be used on babies from the time they have their first teeth. Only a very small
amount of fluoride varnish is used. This method of providing fluoride to teeth has been used in Europe
for more than 30 years. Fluoride varnish is approved by the FDA and is endorsed by the American
Dental Association.
How is it put on the teeth?

The varnish is painted on the teeth. It is quick and easy to apply and does not have a bad taste. There is
no pain, but your child may cry just because babies and children dont like having things put in their
mouths especially by people they dont know! Your childs teeth may be yellow after the fluoride
varnish is painted on, but the yellow color will come off when you brush your childs teeth tomorrow.
How long does the fluoride last?
The fluoride coating will work best if it is painted on the teeth 3-4 times a year.
Informacin para los padres sobre el esmalte de fluoruro
Porque nosotros recomendamos la aplicacin del esmalte de fluoruro en los
dientes de los nios?
Las caries es una de las enfermedades prevenibles ms comunes vista en los nios. Los nios pequeos
desde los 12-18 meses pueden tener cavidades. Las cavidades en los dientes de leche pueden causar
dolor y aun hasta evitar a los nios a poder comer, hablar, dormir y aprender apropiadamente. Los
nios no pierden todos sus dientes de leche hasta que tienen como de 12 a 13 aos de edad.
Que es el esmalte de fluoruro?
El esmalte de fluoruro es una capa protectora que es pintada sobre los dientes para ayudar a prevenir
nuevas cavidades y para ayudar a detener a las cavidades que ya hayan comenzado.
Es el esmalte de fluoruro seguro?
Si, el esmalte de fluoruro puede ser usado en bebs desde que ellos tienen sus primeros dientes.
Solamente una cantidad pequea de esmalte de fluoruro es usada. Este mtodo de proveer fluoruro a
los dientes ha sido usado en Europa por ms de 30 aos. El esmalte de fluoruro es aprobado por la
FDA y es respaldado por la Asociacin Dental Americana.
Como es el fluoruro aplicado en los dientes?
El esmalte es pintado sobre los dientes. Es rpido y fcil de aplicar y no tiene mal sabor. No hay dolor,
pero su nio/a puede llorar simplemente porque a los bebs y nios no les gusta que les pongan cosas
en su boca especialmente por gente que ellos no conocen! Los dientes de su nio/a estarn amarillos
despus que el esmalte de fluoruro sea aplicado, pero el color amarillo se caera cuando usted cepille los
dientes de su nio/a maana.
Cunto tiempo dura el fluoruro?
La capa de fluoruro trabajara mejor si es aplicada en los dientes de 3-4 veces al ao.

For parents with children who are visually impaired:

For parents with visually impaired children, it can be challenging to find the right services and programs.
Consider the information below outlining important information regarding pediatric vision loss. Excellent
guidance is available to parents through Families Together, Inc. which provides an information center
serving Kansas families with children who have disabilities.
The Kansas Association for Parents of Visually Impaired Children (KAPVI) is an organization designed to assist
families of children with visual impairments. KAPVI is the Kansas state chapter of NAPVI, the National
Association of Parents with Children with Visual Impairments.
Additional support can be found through Envision, a Wichita-based non-profit organization whose goal is to
provide independence for people who are blind or low vision

What Parents Should Know and Do:
1. Do not second-guess yourself. If you feel your child has a visual impairment, see a doctor. During
the ages of birth through seven years, time is critical
2. Ask other parents, visually impaired teachers and Fri.ends who you should see to evaluate your child.
3. Look for a doctor that gives you face to face time, appears, interested, communicates to your
satisfaction and has you feeling resolved with the evaluation, communication, care and long term
plan. If they dont, change doctors immediately. They are not a higher being.
4. Align yourself with your childrens teachers other parents with visually impaired children and all
individuals that teach your child that all things are possible.
5. Remember that the first years of life are critical for good vision and an all-out effort for intervention
is extremely important to your childs rest of their life.
6. Just as you would expect in the emergency room, collectively, a team is likely to provide better care
than a single person even a doctor.
