If you think that baby teeth are temporary, and therefore, not important? Well, think again.

Healthy baby teeth will usually result in healthy permanent teeth. Children who constantly drink from bottle is at higher risk of developing baby bottle tooth decay also known as "early childhood caries." It is a common problem among children under the age of five but can be avoided through awareness and prevention such as:

• Wipe your baby's gums with a clean, damp gauze pad or washcloth after feeding.

• Never let your baby fall asleep with a bottle filled with milk, juice, or soda in their mouth.

• Teach your child to drink from a cup by the age of 1 and discourage frequent or prolonged use of a training or sippy cup.

• Never give your child a pacifier dipped in anything sweet.

• Limit the amount of sweet or sticky foods your child eats.

• When your child’s first tooth appears, brush it with fluoride toothpaste and talk to your dentist about scheduling the first dental visit.

Early prevention is the key to a lifetime of good dental health. Parents play a very important role in protecting a child's teeth, and your dentist is your partner in taking care of your child's oral health. Visit your dentist now!

👩🏻‍⚕️QUADRIVALENT FLU VACCINES 2020 are now available! 💉

“The new coronavirus outbreak has made headlines in recent months, but there's another viral epidemic hitting countries around the world: FLU SEASON. But how do these viruses compare, and which one is really more worrisome?
So far, the new coronavirus has led to aprox. more than 4 million cases and more than 300,000 deaths worldwide. But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza.
In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 34 million illnesses, 350,000 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).”

Get you & your loved-ones vaccinated & be protected before Flu strikes you!

👩🏻‍⚕️FYI
The quadrivalent flu vaccine is designed to protect against 4 different flu viruses- 2 influenza A and 2 influenza B viruses.

💉Indicated for 6 months old to Adult

💎What viruses will the 2020 flu vaccines protect against?

There are many different flu viruses and they are constantly changing. The composition of flu vaccines is reviewed annually and updated as needed to match circulating flu viruses.

📋 Quadrivalent 2020 (four-component) vaccines, are recommended to contain:
~A/Brisbane/02/2018(H1N1)
~A/South Australia/34/2019 (H3N2)
~B/Washington/02/2019-like strain
~B/Phuket/3073/2013-like strain

💎Why was the quadrivalent flu vaccine developed?

For years, flu vaccines were designed to protect against 3 different flu viruses (trivalent). This included an influenza A H1N1 virus, an influenza A H3N2 virus and one B virus. Experts had to choose one B virus, even though there are two very different lineages of B viruses that both circulate during most seasons. This meant the vaccine did not protect against the group of B viruses not included in the vaccine. Adding another B virus to the vaccine aims to give broader protection against circulating flu viruses.

💎Who can get the quadrivalent flu vaccine?

QUADRIVALENT flu shot can be given to children as young as 6 months of age to adult age group.

Quadrivalent VACCINE CANNOT CAUSE INFLUENZA illness, because the vaccine viruses used to make it are ‘inactivated’ (killed) or attenuated (weakened).

Disclaimer: Quadrivalent flu vaccines may cost more than trivalent vaccines.
Vaccination is STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT.
