6 Alternatives To Trick Or Treating This Halloween

No activity is ever going to be 100% safe, but I feel reassured as a pediatrician that we know enough about COVID-19 to take some reasonable precautions to lessen the risks.

Dental Teeth And Gum Care

Healthy teeth and gums are very important to the health of your child. Teeth must be cleaned to remove food and plaque (plak). Plaque is a harmful layer of bacteria on the teeth that can cause cavities (tooth decay). Cavities happen faster in baby teeth than in adult (permanent) teeth. Brushing teeth should begin as soon as the first tooth comes in. To prevent cavities and gum disease, teeth, gums and tongue should be cleaned at least twice a day....

Distal Colostogram

The repair of an anorectal malformation often requires more than one procedure. Once your child has recovered well from their ostomy procedure, as a next step, surgeons will perform an imaging study called a high-pressure distal colostogram. The distal colostogram is a special type of X-ray that creates a detailed image of your child’s organs and defect. From this image, the surgical team will be able to precisely diagnose the specific type of malformation your child has....
