Dental Health: An Informative, Fun Discussion!

Description

Did you know your child should visit a pediatric dentist? Did you know that people with CF generally have better dental health than the rest of the general population? Are you familiar with a toothbrush that connects to your phone and will let you know if you're brushing your teeth correctly? Did you know if your CF child has reflux (very common in CF kids) this can impact their dental health?

In this podcast Laura Bonnell will talk with Holli Seabury, the Executive Director of the Delta Dental Foundation. Ms. Seabury has a wealth of information about dental care. No one likes to go to the dentist, but Holli gives us so much information and you will find yourself wanting to learn more! Did you know if your child has CF (or a chronic illness) they can get 4 teeth cleanings a year, even if your employor/insurance says they don't cover it. Holli will explain how this works. Hollie Seabury, EdD, is the executive director of the Delta Dental Foundation. She is committed to oral health equity and advancing dental science through education and research.
