True or false? My toddler does not need fluoride toothpaste. #mythmonday That’s false! From the time your child’s first tooth erupts, it is recommended that you start using fluoride toothpaste. Until 3 years of age, use a grain of rice size amount of fluoride toothpaste with a soft bristled brush twice a day. After age 3, use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste twice a day. #NationalChildrensDentalHealthMonth

The CDC has announced new guidelines for quarantine. You can reduce the number of days of quarantine after exposure if absolutely necessary. You can reduce your quarantine with a negative test, but the test needs to be done 5 days after quarantine begins and you should be asymptomatic. Quarantine can end after the 7th day with a negative test but you need to continue to monitor for symptoms. Alternatively, you can end quarantine at 10 days without a test if no symptoms have developed. The previous guideline of 14 days remains the safest option. #COVID19

CPCMG pediatrician Dr. Annalisa Abjelina really picked a good one for today’s #fridayfunny: A little boy came in with a long-lasting nosebleed. His parents were concerned as he had been getting them a lot. This last nosebleed happened even though the parents followed doctor instructions to use petroleum jelly in the nostrils every day and use nasal saline spray to keep the nostrils moist. The doctor had learned not to ask kids IF they picked their nose but instead WHICH fi...nger they used. But this boy didn’t want to answer the question. Finally, he proudly answered that he used ALL of them, showing the doctor exactly what he meant by sticking each of his 10 fingers in his nose one at a time! He was prescribed some allergy medications that night and learned how to properly clean his nose with tissue. Case solved! For more information on nosebleeds, check out the CPCMG blog: https://www.cpcmg.net/nosebleeds-what-you-need-to-know/
