FAMILY DENTAL HEALTH THE PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY UPDATE WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD FIRST SEE THE DENTIST? Your child should first see the pediatric dentist by age one as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry! Although many people still adhere to the old rule of thumb - a first dental visit by age 3 - this information is simply no longer current! By age 3, your child may either already have cavities OR have poor dietary and hygiene habits that can leave them more susceptible to cavities. Remember, big dental problems can begin at a very young age! The greatest risk of severe cavities comes from either frequent sipping on sugary drinks or allowing your child to fall asleep while drinking a bottle or nursing. The most important reason to begin dental care so young is to begin a thorough preventative program for your child. And then the dentist can spot problems such as the early stages of decay - and correct them-before they do any major damage. Routine visits at an early age will also help your child to become comfortable in the dental environment and have a more positive life-long dental attitude. Children with healthy teeth smile with much more confidence!
“EXPERIENCE OUR MAGIC!” Dr. Kerry Gallagher believes infant exams are such an important part of your child’s overall wellness and future dental health that she offers these screenings complimentary to new patients under 24 months of age at her office. Dr. Kerry is a pediatric dentist, a subspecialty of dentistry where the dentist has received extensive training in the specific oral health concerns of infants and children. Her office, Adult & Pediatric Dental Studio, is located in Manalapan ½ mile from Route 9 off of Union Hill Road West (across from Wawa). The Dental Studio team has one goal: to give your child a wonderful dental experience for life! You and your child will leave smiling!

• This paper airplane is a great plane. It flies fast and true indoors exactly where you want it to go.
(in red extra folds for added weight)
(in red extra folds for added weight)
• Just hold it about 1/4 of its length from the nose tip and throw it overarm quite gently. If you want the plane to circle make one wing higher at the back than the other (but only slightly). This will make the plane circle with the lower wing towards the center of the circle. Be careful not to poke anyone's eye out though!
1. First take a rectangular A4 (8 1/2" by 11") sheet of paper and fold down the center dotted line opening it out again afterwards. 2. Take the first 1cm (1/2") of the rectangular sheet and fold it up along the dotted line. 3. Fold the flap over and over until about 3/8 of the length of the sheet is folded. This should give a heavy and thick front lip. 4. Now fold along the two dotted lines bringing the top edges into the center line and fold along the center line. 5. Fold the wings down along the dotted line. one either side of the center. Now the plane should look like the diagram at the top of the page.

BUTTERFLY EXHIBIT
PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
The Butterfly Charities The Butterfly Charities Inc. is the Jersey Shore’s only Nonprofit enclosed live Butterfly exhibit. The exhibit offers a quiet place where water, nature, flowers and over 100 live butterflies all live in harmony. We also offer a small courtyard that is perfect for a unique wedding ceremony. Upon request patrons can also take advantage of a butterfly release memorial service for grieving families. Or, for those who want a spot of tea or just want to sit in the presence of all those butterflies, we have the perfect place for you. All services are free with admission into the sanctuary. Admission requires a small donation of $10.00, from the families and tourists that flock to the Jersey Shore, where those proceeds go to that week’s charity. That’s the beauty of America; there are so many people willing to give to a cause. It doesn’t matter how bad you think you have it, there is always someone else out there that has it worse. Someone who needs help more, and by giving to them and their cause it creates a natural high, your spirits float higher than ever before, like a butterfly, and like the butterfly you too can make a difference. Peace and tranquility right here at the Jersey Shore, the great thing about this organization is that every week we get to help so many people. It doesn’t harm the environment and it helps the most important part of the economy – our local community. It’s our own little economic stimulus package that has taken wings and landed right here in our back yard.
Adult & Pediatric Dental Studio Kerry Gallagher Moran, DMD, believes every child deserves a perfect dental visit every time! With that philosophy in mind, she and her husband, Dr. David Moran, founded their practice, Adult & Pediatric Dental Studio, in an effort to transform the way people perceive their dental visits. Dr. Kerry is a Pediatric Dentist who completed her specialty residency at the prestigious Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC. As both an expert in her field and a mother of two young children, Dr. Kerry understands as much about children as she does about children’s dentistry.

FITNESS AND HEALTH
Studio V Mind, Body & Soul Vicky DeRosa is the owner of Studio V Mind, Body & Soul in Colts Neck. The boutique studio has a comprehensive approach to fitness, focusing as much on the emotional and spiritual well-being of its members as it does physical fitness. Vicky knows the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Five years ago, she lost her sight to a rare illness. Vicky, however, refused to accept her diagnosis of total blindness and set her own course for recovery. In a development that has confounded doctors, she has regained a portion of her sight, although she remains legally blind. She attributes her improved vision to good nutrition, exercise and faith. As a result of her journey, she decided to open Studio V as a way to share her passion for healthy living.
Dr. Kerry focuses on prevention of dental disease and early interception of orthodontic problems and utilizes a conservative treatment approach. Her team reaches out to 2500 area children each year bringing dental education to the classrooms because she believes that good oral habits start early. In her career she has received accolades from the American Academy of Persons with Disabilities and was recognized this year in “America’s Top Dentists.” She is a member of both the New Jersey Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. “A child’s smile is one of life’s greatest blessings.” Adult & Pediatric Dental Studio Dr. Kerry Gallagher Moran, Pediatric Dentistry Dr. David Moran, Adult General and Cosmetic Dentistry Dr. Erin Power, Pediatric Dentistry 200 Bridge Plaza Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 Phone: 732-972-0611 www.APDentalStudio.com

FAMILY SMILES :)
AT WHAT AGE SHOULD MY CHILD SEE AN ORTHODONTIST? The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child first visit an orthodontist by age 7 or earlier if a problem is detected by parents, the family dentist, or the child's physician. Many orthodontic problems are easier to correct if detected at an early age before jaw growth has slowed. Early treatment can prevent future problems and maximize future tooth and jaw development.
AM I TOO OLD FOR BRACES?
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age. With treatment options that include ceramic braces and crystal clear Invisalign, everyone can have a beautiful and healthy smile. Twenty to twenty five percent of orthodontic patients today are adults.
DOES MY DENTAL INSURANCE PAY FOR ORTHODONTICS?
If you have dental insurance, we will gladly determine the coverage you have under your plan. Orthodontic insurance is usually a separate rider to dental insurance, and not all plans include this coverage. Just give us your policy information and we will be happy to file your claims for you.
