Do you have a child who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD)? If so, you should check out this article from Dr. Bicuspids Ava Barros.
"Individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be at twice the risk of sustaining traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). A systemic review was published in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences.
It was determined that clinicians should be trained to raise awareness and implement preventive strategies to reduce the risk of TDI's in individuals with ADHD, the author wrote.
ADHD is one of the most common chronic health disorders in school-aged children. Managing the relationship between ADHD and TDI's requires a multidisciplinary approach involving dental professionals, pediatricians, psychologists, and educators. Early identification and intervention for ADHD can reduce the risk of TDIs through targeted behavioral and educational strategies, Alzahrani wrote.
The findings highlight the functional impairments associated with ADHD, such as disrupted motor coordination and difficulties in forming peer connections. Children with ADHD are hyperactive, have trouble staying focused, and struggle to manage their behavior. Creating socially supportive school environments can significantly reduce the risk of TDI's, the author wrote.
Check with your Doctor and Dental Provider for help finding a solution for prevention of traumatic dental injury to your ADHD child.
Keep Smiling!
