Returning February 1: Our 4th Annual Say No to Cavities Challenge! Daily brushing and flossing all month long will make two Arkansans the lucky winners of a Nintendo Switch OLED. And--new this year--a teacher the winner of a $500 gift card. Our challenge is designed to raise awareness of pediatric oral health. Untreated tooth decay tops the list of chronic childhood diseases. Pain from cavities is one of the main reasons for school absences and distraction in class, which links to lower academic performance. Yet tooth decay can be easily prevented with proper oral hygiene and preventive dentist visits. We hope our Nintendo giveaway helps instill those healthy habits of daily brushing and flossing. Get ready. https://lnkd.in/e6jnU8qz

Wondering about the difference between your child's well-check and sports physical? Here's the scoop: • Well-checks: Overall health focus, covers growth, safety, and more. • Sports physicals: Specific to sports, assesses fitness and injury risks. A well-check exam focuses on maintaining your child’s overall mental and physical health and is a time to discuss preventive care, whereas a sports physical covers a very narrow area of health concerns related to a specific activity. So even if they’ve recently had a sports physical, your child still needs a well-check exam. We’ll also review and sign those sports physical forms during your visit. Book your well-check exam today via ARC MyChart. Learn more:

MTM Tip of the Day Unfortunately with the beautiful Spring weather (and in some areas, Summer-like weather) comes allergy season. Here's a great patient teaching video on the proper administration of nose sprays. Remember: This refers to nose sprays to manage allergic conditions. NEVER prime (or initially spray the inhaler into the air before use) a naloxone (Narcan(R)) nasal spray. That would result in the complete loss of the dose. https://lnkd.in/eCiMKqVX

As the seasons change and social gatherings become more frequent, it's crucial to discuss a topic that's often whispered about but rarely addressed openly - lice prevention. While lice can be a common issue, especially among school-aged children, it's surrounded by misconceptions and myths. Let's break the stigma and talk about effective lice prevention strategies! Firstly, understanding lice is key. Head lice are tiny parasites that feed on human blood and are most commonly found on the scalp. They're not a sign of poor hygiene but rather opportunistic critters that thrive on close contact. Here are some actionable tips to prevent lice infestation: 🌱 Educate & Communicate: Teach your children about the importance of not sharing personal items like hats, combs, and hair accessories. 🌱 Regular Checks: Regularly inspect your child's hair for lice, especially if there's an outbreak in your community. Early detection is crucial! 🌱 Keep Personal Items Personal: Ensure that items like towels, pillows, and hairbrushes are not shared at home or school. 🌱 Stay Informed: Understand the signs of lice infestation, which include itching, red bumps on the scalp, and the appearance of nits (lice eggs). Despite our best efforts, lice can still find a way into our lives. It's crucial to approach this issue with empathy and understanding, avoiding blame or shame. If you're concerned about lice or unsure about the best prevention or treatment methods, we're here to help. Our dedicated team of doctors is just a call away, ready to provide you with the guidance and support you need. Whether it's identifying an infestation, selecting a treatment plan, or simply answering your questions, we're here to ensure you have the information and resources to tackle lice effectively. 📞 Don't hesitate to reach out and speak with one of our doctors if you have any questions about lice or lice treatment. Let's keep our communities informed, prepared, and lice-free! #LicePrevention #HealthyLiving #CommunityHealth #AskADoctor #LiceTreatment #ParentingTips #DoctorHouseCalls
