About nine months ago my daughter had her first orthodontic consultation. The dentist was concerned that as her grown up teeth started coming in it became apparent that she did not have enough room in her mouth for some of her adult teeth and she was developing an under bite. The first orthodontist recommended a […]
My kids don’t really get sick very often (well, the older two at least) so when my son complained of a sore throat last night I gave him some Tylenol, sent him to bed and didn’t really think twice about it. When I went to get him up for school this morning he said he […]
A new study suggests a girl’s view of her popularity may affect her health. In a study regarding obesity, researchers found that after two years, girls who felt they weren’t very popular gained more weight then girls who felt they were more popular.
There are some flaws in the study. For example, the girls provided their […]
Schools are such a breeding ground for germs, it really amazes me that our kids don’t miss more days of school than they do. Afterall, I know that no matter how much we remind them, kids don’t always cover their mouths when they cough, they don’t always wash their hands, and they touch everything.

My son hit the 5′0″ mark - at age 11.
He didn’t want me in the exam room while he […]

Somehow I missed this well done post from Linda Moran on the HPV vaccine. Angela also makes some important points in […]
I have just been through a scary week with my daughter who was admitted to the hospital with a kidney infection and dehydration. So I would like to take a few moments to remind everyone to ensure kids get enough fluids during outdoor activities, know the signs of dehydration, and most of all know your […]
How come I have this feeling that our relationship with the orthodontist is going to be a long and regular one? I guess with three kids I really can’t expect them all to be blessed with straight and beautiful teeth.
My 8 year old had her first orthodontic appointment today. She has an underbite going and […]
A few weeks back there was a very lively discussion on this site about the HPV vaccine and whether it should be mandatory for girls, its benefits and the social implications. I am very appreciative for everyone who commented and gave us more insight and information for making better decisions.
Today, there is an article at […]
