Push to Learn Chinese in our schools

Recently, a trend that developed in high schools and communities across the United States. Many people want or are learning Chinese. This could be a good turn of events, but can also be problematic. This is especially true for those who know nothing about the culture, Chinese history and state of things in China today.

In mainland China and not to use traditional Chinese characters that go along with the history of China. For some reason, the Chinese Communist Party has decided to change the Chinese language and thus modify the vehicle for written communication.

This is an example. The traditional Chinese character for “love” word has a picture of a heart in it. This is logical because love is closely linked with the heart. Not so in simplified Chinese. There is no heart in the word love in simplified Chinese. We can think about how you can love without heart.

As this example shows, in many ways, the Communist Party of China has removed the heart of any language, which distorts and modifies a version cascade itself. In Taiwan, however, still use traditional characters.

So, if your community or school children’s intention to teach Chinese, you can ensure that you have found the traditional variety. It covers the most complete rich history of China and the Chinese people. In contrast, those who teach our children are from mainland China Simplified Chinese, and unfortunately also the transmission of values ​​and ideas of the Communist Party of China. If you do it purposely or automatically due to growth in this environment, the end result is the same. Only you can decide if you want the influence of the Communist Party of China to give their children.

Be sure to insist that our children learn non-traditional and simplified Chinese version. In this way, the richness of traditional culture of China can be more fully appreciated and loved. There will be a stronger basis for understanding the ancient traditions of China

Did you know that this month is National Children’s Dental Health Month

February is representative of much more than writing as Weekend Valentine’s and President – February is National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) and teachers in primary schools across the country include dental health and oral hygiene in their programs this month.

The ADA (American Dental Association) is the proud sponsor of Dental Health Month National Children. Each year marked by general dentists and pediatric, and that focus on improving the oral health of children in their communities.

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, more than 50 percent of children have caries by the age of five, and four million children born each year, more than half of them caries at the time you reach the second year. Unfortunately, proper treatment of tooth decay is long and expensive. According to May 2000 Report of the Surgeon General, oral health in the United States, more than 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental conditions.

In an effort to stop this trend of caries in our children, pediatric dentists parents take the oral hygiene of their children seriously. Many dentists recommend that parents take their children for their visit to the dentist for the first time for one year of age and be compatible with regular cleanings and examinations thereafter. This little trick does not intend to extend a long list of things to do by adding hours of time at the dentist, but to avoid spending more time in the future. Parents can reduce the time and financial costs associated with dental caries and other dental problems taking their children on routine oral examinations. As the saying goes, “an ounce of prevention is better than cure.” Some time this month to learn proper dental health for our children can go far to help in the future.

So , happy February! Within a month of conversation hearts and cherry pie George Washington, remember to brush your teeth after snacks and also – do not forget to visit your dentist regularly. When it comes to healthy smiles, not much to celebrate.

maintenance of oral hygiene in children

Dentistry has come a long way to reach the therapeutic relationship. In the center of the foundation of prevention is home oral hygiene and plaque control.

The main objectives of oral hygiene are: –

consider the patient as a whole.

To maintain a healthy mouth for as long as possible.

stop the progression of the disease and adequate rehabilitation.

Provide the patient with the knowledge, skills and motivation.

plaque formation

Plaque

is clinically defined as a structure, strong, yellow – gray substance that adheres strongly to surfaces intra drive, including the restoration of removable and fixed. The board is composed primarily of bacteria in a matrix of salivary glycoproteins and extracellular polysaccharides. This matrix, it is impossible to remove the plate washing or the use of aerosols. The board can thus be distinguished from other deposits which can be found on the surface of the tooth, such as materia alba and calculus. Materia alba refers to the accumulation of bacteria and cells of the soft tissues that do not have the organized structure of dental plaque and moves easily with water spray. The calculation is a hard deposit that is formed by the mineralization of dental plaque and is usually covered by a layer of unmineralized plaque.

Plaque is composed mainly of micro organization. One gram of plaque (wet weight) contains approximately 1,011 bacteria. The number of bacteria in supragingival plaque on a surface of a tooth can exceed 109. In a periodontal pocket, the number can vary from 103 healthy bacteria in a crack of more than 108 bacteria in a deep pocket. More than 500 different species of microbes found in dental plaque. New molecular approaches for identification of bacteria based on analysis of ribosomal dexyribonuclie acid (DNA), suggest that up to 30% of micro-organisms associated with gingivitis may represent uncultured species. Therefore, it is evident that a considerable number of micro plate body has not yet been identified. A person can hold 150 or more species. No bacterial organisms found on board include Mycoplasma species, yeast, protozoa and viruses. The microfinance organization exists in a host cell intercellur matrix also contains a few, such as epithelial cells, macrophages and leukocytes.

Dental plaque is generally classified as supragigival or supragigival on the basis of their position in the tooth surface in the subgingival margin as follows.

supragingival plaque is above the gingival margin to be in direct contact with the gingival margin, refers to the plate as marginal.
supragingival plaque is equal to or greater than the margin between the teeth and gingival epithelium sulcular.
Gram – positive and short rods predominate in the surface of the tooth, while Gram-negative bacilli and spirochetes and filaments, mainly on the outer surface of the mass of the mature plaque

.

In general, the subgingival microflora differed in composition of the supragingival plaque, mainly because of local availability of blood products and low oxidation – reduction (redox) potential, which characterizes the anaerobic

.

mechanical methods of plaque control

mechanical methods of plaque control techniques are widely accepted for plaque removal. Brushing and flossing are the essentials of these mechanical methods; attachments are mold release agents, irrigators and tongue scrapers

.
MANUAL toothbrush

toothbrush is the most common method for removing plaque from the oral cavity. A number of variables go into the design and manufacture of toothbrushes. These include silk material, length, diameter, and the total number of fibers, the length of the head of the brush, the brush head design of adjustment, the number and arrangement of the tufts The angle of the head Brush Mango Mango, design. In addition, many features, such as the use of neon colors or cartoon caricatures of the family, are designed to attract the attention of potential buyers

Today

, brushes over commercially available are made with synthetic (nylon) hair. The brushes are classified as soft, medium or hard depending on the diameter of these hairs. Diameters of these classifications are from 0.16 to 0.22 mild, 0.23 to 0.29 mm for medium, and 0.30 mm and higher difficulty. Of the three types of large bristles cut ends, bulbs enlarged and round, round tip is the type of hair of choice because it is associated with a lower incidence of the irritation of gingival tissues. However, even hide the thick hair finally finish with normal use

soft brush is best for most uses in pediatric dentistry because of less risk of trauma to the gingival tissues and increased the capacity of interdental cleaning. To evaluate the best toothbrush head and handle for children, Updyke finds it preferable to use a brush with a small head and a neck thicker than in the toothbrush of adult height using the Access to the oral cavity and a better grip of the handle of the child.

cleaning efficiency of toothbrushes is maintained until the wear of the toothbrush was made. This implies that patients are much more likely to have a brush before its clinical utility ends actually continue to use a toothbrush and not effective cleaning. In this sense, a manufacturer claims that its toothbrush business indicates that the brush must be replaced by tufts of hair in the center of dyed with food coloring. When the blue fades to half of the sow, it’s time to replace the brushes. The company says that, on average, this occurs after 3 months, but the time varies among individuals in the habit of brushing.

The best advice is to replace the brush when it appears worn. This can be problematic for parents because some children, especially young children, chewing his brush to brush your teeth, giving the hair look worn quickly.

silk

While brushing is

the most popular method for mechanical control of plaque, brushing teeth is not enough to remove plaque adequately of all tooth surfaces. In particular, it is not effective in interdental plaque removal, which means that interdental cleaning beyond brushing is necessary. Many devices have been proposed to eliminate interdental plate, such as interdental brushes, floss holders and flossing, brushing and final plume.

floss holders for children.

seems to be no substantial difference between these devices in their ability to remove plaque and its tendency to produce effects of gingival inflammation when used correctly, however, flossing is the basic unit for devices most often compared. Other devices are most often recommended in certain circumstances, for example, the interdental brush may be recommended for orthodontic patients.

different types of thread are available, flavored and unflavored, unwaxed and waxed, a thin strip and wire mesh Almost all available on the market despite the silk nylon material PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) also is available. . The manufacturer claims that because the material has a low coefficient of friction than nylon, this thread is not destroyed, he slips easily between tight contacts, and minimizes the adjustment smoothly.

Based on the work of Bass, unwaxed dental floss filament was generally regarded as the wire of choice because of the ease of floss between tight contacts, no wax residue The effect of her singing the movement in a tooth floss, and the spread of the fiber, resulting in the contact area and greater plaque removal.

From the standpoint of patient acceptance, flavored floss with wax may be the most effective type. In addition, many parents complain that their fingers are too big for your child’s mouth. (Fig 11_4 ..) for retaining the tang are an excellent choice for parents when that complaint is expressed or when the skills of parents or the child prevents the hand – the conclusion of silk. For patients with orthodontic flossing is a tedious process, but it is nevertheless essential to maintaining oral health.

Mechanical Removal

POWER PLATE

justification for using power brushes is that many patients remove plaque bad because they do not have the manual dexterity in the proper handling of the brush. Power brushes should reduce the need for skills, automatically as a movement of the brush head

.

use the last power brush such as brush or Braun Oral-B Kids Power Toothbrush (D10) may be more advantageous than using other brushes. The Sonicare toothbrush uses sound technology in the form of acoustic energy to enhance the ability of plaque removal of traditional toothbrush. The brush has an electromagnetic device that drives the movement to 261 sows or 31 Hz, 320 shots per <-! Nextpage ->. Minute

electric toothbrushes removed plaque significantly more than manual toothbrushes for children.

design of the electric brush with a rotation-oscillation action removed plaque and reduce gingivitis more effectively than manual toothbrushes, both short and long term.

Braun Oral-B Interclean. This device is electrically powered cleaning requires only the use of hand Singlel while rotating the filament to undergo an elliptical plate stop attached to adjacent teeth and the next.

toothpaste

Toothpaste fill multiple functions

hygiene oral by the inclusion of a variety of agents. Elimination Act of the plate as spots and agents and the use of abrasives and surfactants. Nice flavors and colors to encourage their use. They control the properties of scale with the addition of pyrophosphate. Finally, toothpaste and anti-caries properties of desensitization by the action of fluoride and other agents. toothpaste for children should contain fluoride, low rank to abrasion and wear the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

Child more likely to practice oral hygiene, if the tools used are pleasing to the child. Despite the caries preventive efficacy of fluoride toothpastes in children

children tend to use large amounts of toothpaste, toothbrush for a longer period, and rinse and spit less and using a toothpaste for children to use a toothpaste for adults.

Manufacturers must

market a toothpaste low fluoride or intentions to reduce the hole diameter of the tube. Parents should be advised to delay the use of fluoride toothpaste before the child is older than 36 months and the use of small quantities of a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.

toothpaste for children entitled Baby Orajel tooth and gum cleaner. The manufacturer says it is not abrasive nonfoaming fluorine-free, safe for children, and is ideal for babies from 4 months to 3 years. It contains a mild surfactant and simethicone, sugar and comes in flavors of vanilla and fruit.

DISCLOSURE OF AGENTS

In an effort to increase the patient’s ability to remove plaque, several agents have been developed to allow visualization of patients in the plate. These include iodine, gentian violet, erythrosine, basic fuchsin, fast green dye, food, fluorescein, and two-tone disclosing agent. The use of these agents is particularly useful for teaching children about brushing techniques and educate them about the reasons for oral hygiene. FDC Red No. 28 is an agent of the plate, revealing the common use, either as a liquid that is dried in the teeth with a cotton swab or a chewable tablet form of this dye stains oral soft tissues and the film and the plaque, leaving a pink discoloration is unacceptable for several hours after use. Most younger children do not seem bothered by the discoloration, but as adolescence approaches children can become a problem. fluorescein release agents have been developed to solve this problem because fluorescein is not visible under normal light. Its use, however, require special equipment.

The revelation

agents have antimicrobial activity, according to the inhibition, despite the growth plate in the short term quantity has not been observed in clinical. The long-term use of extension agents can contribute to qualitative differences in the composition of the Board

various devices, such as oral irrigators and tongue scrapers have been proposed for routine oral hygiene. oral irrigators on water use of chemotherapeutic agents to remove plaque from teeth. tongue scrapers, which are flat plastic, flexible sticks are used to remove bacteria and food debris that accumulate on the rough surface of the tongue. In addition, gauze pads or special dental care for infants useful for massaging the gums and remove plaque in the newly erupted teeth. Despite these attachments to add our tools of basic hygiene, toothbrushes and dental floss is still the most effective means of mechanical removal of plaque. professional recommendation should propose these supplements are complements, not substitutes for the basic tools

TECHNICAL

toothbrush design

, several types of brushing techniques for children have been advocated in recent years. The most common techniques are the method of the roll, Charters method, horizontal washing process and the modified Stillman

Method

Roll. The brush is placed in the lobby, the bristle ends directed toward the apex, with the sides of the bristles touching the gums. The patient presses the sides of the bristles, brush and moves occlusion. The brush is moved back up into the hall, and the rocking motion is repeated. The lingual surfaces are brushed in the same way, with two teeth brushed at the same time.

Letters

Method – The ends of the bristles in contact with the enamel of teeth and gums with the bristles to a 45 degree angle with the occlusal plane. Lateral pressure and down is placed on the brush and brush gently vibrates forward and backward an inch or less.

horizontal scrub method: The brush is placed horizontally on the buccal and lingual surfaces and moved back and forth with a wash action

.
Modified Stillman method

– modified Stillman method combines a vibratory action of the bristles of the brush with a brush stroke movement in the longitudinal axis of the teeth. The brush is placed in the mucogingival line, with the hair on the side opposite to the crown, and moved with a stroking motion along the gum and tooth. The handle is turned to the crown and vibrated as the brush.

little-used method in 2-3 teeth at a time. The brush is placed at 450 to the angle of the tooth surface and moves back and forth, allowing the hair to stay in one place.

horizontal washing method showed a significant effect of removing the plate roller, letters, and modifies the traditional man.

horizontal technical washing removes plaque much or more than the other techniques, regardless of age of the child and whether the brushing is done by the parent or child. It is also the most natural technique adopted by children.

flossing , the technique recommends the following

1. 46-61 cm (18-24 inches) in length of the wire is obtained, and the ends are wrapped around the fingers of the patient or parents in the community. Flossing should be long enough to allow the thumb to touch each other when the hands are laid flat.

2. The thumb and forefinger are used to guide the floss, because it is slightly cut between the two teeth cleaned. Be careful not to break the wire through contacts interdental gingival trauma empty.

3. The floss is then manipulated alternately around each tooth individually and moved in a movement to replace the neck of the occlusion until the plaque is removed. Between each pair of clean floss is placed back in their fingers that the fresh food, impeccable dental floss used in each new place.

Some children and parents prefer to make a loop of dental floss. Attach the two wire ends together, instead of wrapping around your fingers, it contributes to the possession and control of activities of flossing and plaque removal more are added at the time. If it must be the last thing the child before bedtime. Because the flow of saliva and its buffering capacity is reduced during sleep, is also developing children performed a learned behavior in a given time of day, every day will benefit from childhood to adulthood.

chemotherapeutic plaque control

Fones

SCRUB METHOD OR CIRCULAR PROCESS (1934)

Note:

suitable for young children who want to make your own brush, but do not have the muscle development of techniques that require coordination

Technique:

The child is encouraged to reach out so they are parallel to the ground. The child is invited to make big circles with your arm to draw circles in the air. The circles are reduced to circles of smaller diameter are in front of the mouth. The child is ready to make circles in the teeth with the toothbrush, to ensure that the teeth and gums are covered.

Benefits

This technique has a potential equal to or greater in the technique of removing plaque and preventing gingivitis.

Easy to learn
Shorter
Physically or mentally disabled
Patients who lack the skills brushing technical process
The gum comes with a good stimulation
Disadvantages

possible trauma to the gum
interdental spaces are not properly cleaned
Harmful to adults, especially the brush vigorously

chemotherapeutic plaque control

Although the use of mechanical therapy for plaque control can give excellent results, it is clear that many patients are unable, unwilling or unable to exercise effective Mechano routine. In addition, certain “patients -! Nextpage -> to dental disease (eg, immunosuppressed conditions) needs additional assistance beyond Mechano to maintain a normal level of oral health. For this reason, chemotherapeutic agents have been developed as an adjunct to plaque control.

Van der

Ouderaa said that the major therapeutic agent chemotherapy ideal for control of the board of directors shall have the following characteristics.

specificity only for pathogenic bacteria

substantivity

, the ability to attach and be retained by the oral surfaces and then released over time

No loss of power.

chemical stability during storage.

absence of side effects, such as spots or interactions of the mucosa.

Toxicological safety.

ecological security in order not to affect the microbiota

Ease of Use

No agent has been developed that has all these characteristics.

There are several main routes of administration of anti-plate intended for domestic use. That mouthwash, toothpaste, gels, irrigators, dental floss, chewing gum tablets and capsules. All these are designed for local administration, supragingival, except for irrigation, alligators and methods of delivery of the capsule. Irrigators can provide supragingival and subgingival delivery. The capsules are designed for distribution systems

Both van der

Ouderaa and Mandel have provided excellent reviews of various chemotherapeutic agents and their uses.

antiseptic agents used in chemotherapy plaque control has been demonstrated little or no oral or systemic toxiaty in the concentrations used. Virtually no drug resistance is induced, and in many cases, these agents have broad antimicrobial spectrum.

aoent chlorhexidine antiseptic organic positively charged. has the capability of the organization to reduce plaque scores and gingivitis.

chlorhexidine binds anionic glycoproteins and phosphoproteins in the oral mucosa, palate, lips and cinematic effects and antibacterial dental support to bind to cell membranes of bacteria, increasing their permeability, the opening of leakage, and precipitation of intracellular components.

Several studies have demonstrated the use and effectiveness of chlorhexidine in children as young as 8 years. Studies have examined its use as a mouthwash, spray, varnish, chlorhexidine gel used in dental floss.

Lang and colleagues studied the effects of supervised chlorhexidine of 158 schoolchildren aged 10 to 12 years. The children were divided into four groups. Group A rinsed with a solution of 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) six times a week. Group B rinsed with 0.2% CHX twice a week. Group C rinsed with a solution of 0.1% CHX six times a week. Group D washed six times a week with a placebo solution. All washing was done under supervision, and no effort was made to change the habits of children oral hygiene.

The graph shows the results of three experimental groups B and C, showed a statistically significant reduction of gingival index compared with the control group. Group D The researchers concluded that gingivitis can be successfully controlled in children regular rinsing with chlorhexidine solution over a prolonged period.

Chlorhexidine spray

has stimulated interest in their use in the disabled population due to its efficiency and ease of administration.

Burtner et al showed a 35% reduction in the levels of the plate with spray versus placebo in a study of 16 men institutionalized adults with severe mental retardation and profound.

Chikte

and after 9 weeks, the trial double-blind, randomized cross-survey, which included 52 institutionalized persons with mental disabilities from 10 to 26 years. At the end of the determination of the gingival index and plaque was reduced by 48% and 52% respectively in the group treated with a spray of stannous fluoride.

Ferretti and his colleagues found that the prophylactic use of chlorhexidine mouthwash product reductions of gingivitis and oral mucositis and microbial load in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation.

Using a plaque chlorhexidine mouthwash and gingivitis agent in bone transplant patients maarrow to improve oral hygiene.

Finally, chlorhexidine varnish was demonstrated by Fennisle et al and Petersson et al suppress the level of mutans streptococci.

The use of anti-positively charged plate has been hampered by side effects, such as stained teeth, impaired sense of taste, and increased the formation of supragingival calculus. Several attempts have been made to reduce these side effects, such as changing eating habits, increasing the mechanical removal of plaque and the use of hydrogen peroxide solutions in combination with an antiseptic agent.

The best known

uncharged Listerine antiseptic agent is phenolic. mouthwash was the first to be accepted by the Council on Dental Therapeutics for their help in controlling plaque and gingivitis. Despite its long history of use, studies of Clark et al and Brownstone et al showed chlorhexidine to be significantly more effective than Listerine in reducing rates of plaque and gingivitis.

Listerine tends to give patients a burning sensation, and has a bitter taste

Lang and Brecx

summarized the changes in plaque index, gingival index, the index of fading and the scores of the use of four chemotherapeutic agents known control panel.

The effects of two daily rinses of 10 ml, with 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate, quaternary ammonium chloride compound cetylpyridinium phenolics Listerine or the plant alkaloid sanguinarine were compared with those of a rinse placebo.

rinses were supervised by registered dental hygienists in these studies of 21 days.

Subjects were divided into five groups of eight each and were asked to abstain from oral hygiene for 21 days.

average rate in five groups of eight people to abstain from oral hygiene for 21 days of rinsing with chlorhexidine digluconate or 0.12% (CHX), 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC ), Listerine, sanguinarine, or placebo. An index, the intermediate plate (PLI). B, average gingival index (GI). C, the average rate of discoloration (DI).

Although

sanguinarine, Listerine, and cetylpyridinium chloride inhibits plaque formation to some extent, prevent gingivitis is not significantly superior to placebo.

Unfortunately, all antiseptics demonstrated a decolorization rate higher score than placebo. As shown in Figure C, chlorhexidine has the second highest rating of four bleaching agents.

Listerine is one of the highest alcohol content of a mouthwash, about 25%.

alcohol poisoning is the use has been studied, alcohol poisoning is more relevant to pediatric dentistry. The relationship of alcohol contendo rinsing the oral cavity is equivocal.

alcohol poisoning of children and adolescents mouthwash is a concern because of product availability. Most parents do not recognize the damage potential of these rinses.

Dental health secrets are revealed in National Smile Month
National Smile

short month both in the United Kingdom and the United States from May 17 to June 16, 2009. In the United Kingdom is favored by the British, while the Dental Health Foundation in the U.S. Oral Health America is coordinating the event for 30 days. This is the first time a National Smile month will be held in the United Kingdom and the United States.

National Smile month has a very holistic approach to dental health. In fact, one of the main event of the month to explain to the general public in simple terms, the links between oral health and general health of the body. Most people in the United Kingdom and the United States would be very surprised to learn that in fact there are close links between the conditions of gum disease and health include:

fights diabetes heart disease and premature infants with a weight

National Smile Month is encouraging Britons and Americans on both sides of the pond to make the link between a healthy mouth and healthy bodies. A recently conducted medical research has shown that bacteria or infections of the mouth of the impact on overall health. Research has also shown that systemic diseases affecting the gums and teeth.

The disease that causes cavities or tooth decay is in fact known as cavities. This disease is a transmissible infection, but the good news is that it can be managed with good oral hygiene. management of caries includes: />

Periodontal disease is a gum disease that affects more than 30% of the adult population. Periodontal disease is often underdiagnosed and, despite growing evidence of its relationship with systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and premature babies with low birth weight. A key theme of National Smile Week is urging people to ask their dentists, dental hygienists and health professionals about the disease and how it can affect overall health.

Another advertising technique is the use of dental sealants are a thin layer of plastic is placed on the chewing surfaces of molars. These sealants are effective to prevent or reverse dental caries. Dental sealants are most commonly used in children, especially in ages when the new permanent teeth erupt.

oral health in America has published the statistical wonder that every year in the United States more than 51 million school hours are lost due to problems related to dental caries. Oral Health in America has taken the matter directly to schools and is active in major events in children good oral hygiene school.

The state of Kansas found that the problems of oral health in children are the precursors of more serious health problems that children reach adulthood. Kansas has been a leader in the manufacture of oral health a priority. In a multi-faceted campaign that has been in force since 2004, the southern state has improved its overall score of “D +” to “B”. Kansas strategies to improve care of oral health include:

The expansion of the prevention of oral diseases, oral programs, particularly related to health education, use fluoride varnish and dental sealants, water fluoridation and community education in a position to stop the cycle of oral diseases, including pregnant women, parents of young children, and caregivers of people Promoting healthy eating vulnerable children, especially pre-school and nutrition has reduced the consumption of snuff

The British Dental Health Foundation is a charity registered in the United Kingdom and has in place for over 38 years. Key messages from the Foundation have been at the heart of his charities for many years and the three decades since the start of National Smile Week. Is the Chief Executive, Dr Nigel Carter said:

“It is vital that we use National Smile Month to educate the public about the importance of health care is often underestimated the mouth. ”

Study Abroad Health and Safety for the Student Traveler

When you study abroad health and safety should be a top priority for you. It’s important to take precautions and use common sense throughout your daily activities and as you explore new places. Prepare yourself and prevent your dream trip from turning into a nightmare.

Staying Healthy While Away

Taking care of yourself starts by eating right, exercising, getting plenty of rest, and keeping drug and alcohol use to a minimum – regardless of the host country’s laws. In addition the following ‘study abroad public health checklist’ can help you ensure a healthy trip abroad:

•    Check with the CDC – When you travel abroad you should always check with the U.S. Center for Disease Control beforehand to learn about study abroad public health concerns including regional diseases. Know how they’re transmitted, preventative measures to take, and of course symptoms and treatments. Additionally research the types of shots, immunizations and x-rays you need to enter the country

•    Check with Your School – Your host school will be able to provide you with a list of medical documents and study abroad health requirements you’ll need to enroll. This may include additional tests, records and forms above the country’s
study abroad public health requirements, so be sure to check

•    Visit Your Doctor and Dentist – Once you find out what tests and shots you’ll need, have a complete physical done by your doctor. And since oral health is so closely related to your overall health, be sure to have a complete dental examination too

•    Refill Your Prescriptions – When you travel, be sure to take a full supply of any prescription medicines with you. Before you go, check the country’s laws to make sure a legal U.S. drug isn’t an illegal substance there and always keep medications in their original containers with the prescription information clearly visible. It’s also a good idea to have a doctor’s note describing the exact medication, strength and dosage

Safety Abroad Means Being Street Smart

Safety abroad involves common sense and heeding the same types advice your parents may have given you over the years. Stay in groups and never go off alone at night. Never go anywhere with strangers. Don’t take food or drinks from anyone you don’t know. Keep your possessions close to you and don’t wear flashy jewelry or flaunt expensive items. Criminals, including men, women, children and the elderly, prey on unsuspecting tourists, so listen to your gut, and heed the following safety abroad tips:  

•    Get Informed – Know everything that you can about the areas you’re visiting. Start by scanning the U.S. State Department’s website for travel advisories, warnings and additional safety abroad tips

•    Keep Emergency Contacts Handy – Keep a list with you at all times that includes numbers for the local U.S. consulate or embassy, your school and study abroad program, your roommates or host family, and other local friends

•    Know the Area – Learn about the areas and cities surrounding your school. Know where the police stations are, and how to ask for help in the native tongue. Be familiar with common routes to and from your campus

•    Know the Law – Prevent possible legal altercations by being aware of your host country’s laws. You might be surprised to find out that some countries outlaw such seemingly benign behavior as jaywalking and chewing gum

•    Know the Customs – If it’s customary to cover your head and face with a scarf, then do it. If it’s rude, or even criminal, to show your knees, leave your mini skirts and shorts at home

•    Don’t Look Like a Tourist – Don’t even think about stringing a camera around your neck, and if you’re lost, try not to look it. Instead go to a private area to discreetly consult a map. If you realize that asking for directions is your only option, look for a policeman or another authority figure to help you

•    Be Smart About Public Transportation – If a taxi or bus isn’t clearly marked with official language, don’t get in. And although it may be tempting to save money, especially when traveling on a student budget , never share a taxi with someone you don’t know

•    Ask Before You Snap – Be careful who and what you photograph. Many times natives take offense to having their photographs taken by foreigners and may accost you

When you study abroad health and safety depend on your best judgment. Use your head and have the time of your life.
