Tooth seals help reduce tooth decay. Dentists explain whether and which teeth should be sealed
The dentist assesses whether and which teeth should be sealed
Parents often only notice it when it is already there: the first permanent molar. Mostly from the age of six, the so-called six-year molars slide behind the last milk teeth. Viewed from above, each one resembles a small mountain range with four or five peaks and rivers buried between them. Sometimes more, sometimes less deep.
Dentists see potential fissures and cavities for caries in the fissures and dimples. As a rule, doctors advise plastic sealing, because thorough brushing is often not enough on its own. What parents should know:
It’s never too early to save for college and other expenses that will appear about your child’s life. Getting into the habit when your child is still a baby is an excellent idea.

However, opening the account on your child’s behalf is also a great gift for your growing child. Here’s what you need to know about opening a savings account for a newborn.
When children have a fever, calf wraps are a proven home remedy for many parents. What you should consider
Calf wraps are a proven home remedy
Fever occurs with many teething problems and other infections. Then you should first clarify by visiting a doctor whether there is a serious illness behind the fever that requires medical treatment. In many cases, home remedies to support the treatment are also suitable in consultation with the attending doctor. For example, calf wraps can lower the fever.
On vacation with the baby? For some parents, but even more for the grandparents, an unimaginable thought. But why not? Even at the age of three months, the little ones can tolerate a change of location. They are no longer as fragile as most parents fear, and the baby does not consider moving away as an unpleasant interruption to their everyday life.
So enjoy your first vacation with a baby. Because when your offspring becomes more active and mobile, traveling with a child becomes a far greater challenge. The baby doesn’t care where the journey is going, as long as it has its familiar people around it. And if the washing, changing and feeding work smoothly, nothing stands in the way of a trip.

Separation: How do parents explain this to the child?
Sometimes the separation is inevitable – even with parents. But how do you tell your child? A psychologist gives tips. And: parents report on their children’s reactions
Parents should not argue in front of the child or speak badly about the other
Prof. Walper, when is the right time to tell the child that mother and father are separating?
When the parents are sure and the decision is made. However, many find it difficult, they delay it. Surveys have shown that parents often give their child other reasons for someone to move out – such as professional commitments. If the child later learns that he has been lied to, he is usually very disappointed and may no longer be able to trust his parents.
When separated, parents are often very busy with themselves. But be careful: your child now needs them more than before. How to help your little one through difficult times
When parents stay in conversation with their little one, they find out what is troubling them
Those who separate usually change their everyday lives radically. Family celebrations, holidays, even meals at home will be different in the future. No one with whom you share experiences and worries every day. Nobody to make life’s big and small decisions with. Future plans need to be revised, shared dreams rejected and finances often reorganized. And then there are feelings like disappointment or self-doubt. It’s no wonder that many of them can’t get a clear idea at first. But what if you have children?
At some point, parents and children are fed up with changing diapers. How to switch to potty and toilet and when it’s time
Goodbye diaper! From a certain point in time, children want to get dry
Like, you’re still wrapping?", "What, your child is not dry yet?" – The diaper question is high on the nerve scale of parents. Once the child has reached the age of two, you are constantly confronted with it, whether in the playground or in the daycare. When the start of kindergarten comes into sight, the pressure rises and the question arises: should we start strict potty training now, after all, other children can get by without a diaper?
Does the child have a fever? There are several ways to measure the temperature: in the buttocks, in the ear, in the mouth, on the forehead or under the armpit, there are various thermometers for this. Not everyone is equally good
Hot forehead: Parents should pay attention to the right method when measuring fever
Fever – when to the doctor?
That is fever: from 37.5 degrees Celsius one speaks of an elevated temperature, fever starts at 38.1 degrees Celsius, a child has a high fever from 40 degrees Celsius.
To the doctor: "The younger the child, the earlier they should see a pediatrician", recommends Julia Bark, pharmacist from Kaiserslautern. And whenever the child is visibly bad, tired and indifferent, drinks nothing or not enough, has pain, skin changes or if the fever has not decreased after two days.
Well prepared: "Document the measured values during fever measurement over a few hours. This provides the doctor with important information", advises the pharmacist.
Measurement in the buttocks, in the mouth or in the armpit with the contact thermometer
Application: For infants and toddlers, pediatricians recommend that the temperature be determined rectally, i.e. in the anus. "You measure close to the core of the body, the error rate is very low", says pharmacist Julia Bark. Cream the tip lightly and gently insert the thermometer 2 cm deep into the bottom. Leave there until the value stops increasing or until the beep. After the measurement, rinse with warm water and a little soap, disinfect in case of gastrointestinal infections.
