Dr. Pete, my son is 12 years old and is in braces. He is complaining of pain in the very back of his mouth behind his last tooth. Could this be his wisdom tooth coming in?While it is possible it is highly unlikely that a wisdom tooth would be erupting on a 12 year old patient. The pain your son is feeling is most likely from a 12 year molar. It is common for these teeth to cause pain when they are coming into the mouth. The best thing to do for this kind of discomfort is to take an anti inflammatory as recommended by your dentist or orthodontist.Most, but not all, people have three sets of molars: the 6-year and 12-year molars, which come in typically at ages 6 and 12, and the wisdom teeth or molars (12 total). Most patients do not have enough room for wisdom teeth in their mouth and need these teeth extracted prior to their eruption. Thus, wisdom teeth are not a cause of concern until late teens to early 20s. I typically send my orthodontic patients to an oral surgeon after braces to have the wisdom teeth evaluated.
Hey Dr. Snod and Dr. King, what is enamel hypocalcification andwhat causes it?
Enamel hypocalcification is a condition that effects the formation of the enamel of either the baby teeth or the permanent teeth. It can be localized (involving only one tooth) or generalized. If the front teeth exhibit enamel hypocalcification, it is usually a cosmetic problem, that depending on the severity, may require treat-ment with esthetic filling materials. If the posterior teeth are severely affected, the treatment often requires restoring the tooth with a stainless steel crown. Enamel hypocalcification can be caused by many factors. The most common cause is thought to be a virus. Many lay people blame antibiotics, but it is not thought to be the antibiotics that cause the problem. It is the viruses or the bacteria that the antibiotics are being given for that is the culprit. We commonly see enamel hypocalcification involving the six-year molars. Severe cases require aggressive treatment.

If the posterior teeth are severely affected, the treatment often requires restoring the tooth with a stainless steel crown. Enamel hypocalcification can be caused by many factors. The most common cause is thought to be a virus. Many lay people blame antibiotics, but it is not thought to be the antibiotics that cause the problem. It is the viruses or the bacteria that the antibiotics are being given for that is the culprit. We commonly see enamel hypocalcification involving the six-year molars. Severe cases require aggressive treatment.

editors note
plate spinnings a talenthile most of the world seems to be on the side of medicating children for ADHD, Im outside that trend. Ive written about it before, and Ill write about it again, and you might not like what Im going to say, but Im going to say it. I am married to a man who may by todays stan-dards have ADHD. But my husband is an expert plate spinner and can handle more than most typical people at any one time. This is a talent. Meanwhile, my youngest, 9, is a chip off the old block. I have sat across from teachers wanting to talk to me about his attention issues, even had
one ask me if Id ever medicated him, but again, I buck the trend. I am not much into the disease of the decade or the disease du jour for that matter, and Im fairly skeptical about taking medicine that alters behavior. While lots of grown ups are on happy pills these days, and sometimes it seems like we are a medicated nation, I remain skeptical about the idea of a pill for this, a pill for that. I like natural measures more. So is life harder for my family? I dont know. Life is life. I have four children, and my solution to having four kids is to get them to take care of themselves as soon as they can so I can sit back and watch. For the aforementioned mate who loses his keys often, struggles with organization (yet knows where everything is except his keys, that is) and can multitask rings around you and I, well, he keeps life more than interesting. He is a soccer coach, an ice hockey coach, a rugby coach, a very fun dad and the president of his own company. For my rambunctious 9-year-old who is often on the receiving end of many a laser stare but who is smart as a whip and fun as all heck (my little future entrepreneurial plate spinner), I aim to find ways to support him and I do. He has a large dry-erase calendar in his room that we adjust nightly. He writes in what he needs to stay on top of. His teacher sends me notes to help him. Keeping him busy is the trick and encouraging him reaps gold. So he plays soccer
and ice hockey and participates in lots of activities because its good for him to be involved and structured. Sure he drops some plates, but my job is to help him learn how to pick them up again and keep going. My goal has been and still is to not medicate my child who is definitely more than high spirited. For the record, my husband has never been medicated. But just because Im so stubborn about not medicat-ing my family doesnt mean its the best thing for anyone else. There are countless parents who swear that medicating their ADHD child is the only thing that has helped him perform in an acceptable way. For me, I will take my husband and child as they are. Theres room for all of us, all abilities, all functions, right?

Dina Mishu, M.D.Goodlettsville PediatricsDr. Mishu is amazing. She always takes the time to listen to parents and kids, and I have noticed she always lingers a little longer when listening to my sons breathing than ANY other physician we have seen. All of the doctors in the practice are wonderful but she always makes you feel a little more rest assured after a visit. And my son has been sick enough that we have seen more than our share of doctors. She was recommended by word of mouth after not feeling the connection with our former pediatrician. We havent regretted it one bit. Thank you, Dr. Mishu!

Julia Thompson, M.D.Rivergate PediatricsDr. Thompson came very highly recommended and she has never let us down. She is very knowl-edgeable and is always willing to share her insight with her patients. We never feel rushed and she communicates well with children. Unfortunately, Dr. Thompson is retiring this summer, but we feel well-served during our eight years with her care.
Christy Koster
Lindsay M. Rauth, M.D.Heritage Medical Associates Department of PediatricsDr. Rauth is fantastic. She never makes me feel rushed during our appointments and is always willing to answer any and all questions that I have. My favorite thing about her though is that she always seems truly happy to see my daughter and to see the progress that she is making. Ive never had a doctor that I loved before, and I love Dr. Rauth.
elan Lewis
Chetan R. Mukundan, M.D.Heritage Medical Associates Department of PediatricsIts nice to have a pediatrician who seems to remember your kids. Dr. Mukundan will ask them about things that they mentioned last year. He always starts with asking them questions. The focus is kept on the child, not the parents. Unless he is out of town or its a weekend emergency, we always see Dr. Mukundan. We never get shuffled to someone else who doesnt know us or our kids. His nurses are great, smart and willing to talk to parents. Our kids love Dr. Mukundan and his staff, and we hope to be seeing all of them for many years to come.

Tara Cagle genTry Same here! It is an everyday thing. We even pick her clothes out the night before, she puts them on then decides she doesnt want to wear that.
rhiana Pfaff My 3-year-old is the exact same way! We implemented the following: she must choose an outfit at night for in the morning, then she may change two more times during the day one in dress-up clothes and one additional outfit choice. I figure it is unreasonable to try to limit her to one outfit per day when she was changing up to seven times in a day. Were starting slowly so far, so good. Good news? Maybe shell be a fashion designer one day!
erin huskey Have her do her own laundry and even put the clothes away once they are dried. Have her put the clothes on hangers and fold them and put them up.
amy Wade Payne My 2-year-old does this except she pulls them out, tries them on, then throws clothes everywhere. LOL! Gotta love em.
reyes rodriguez sTeWarT He-he-he! Both my 6- and 3-year-old daughters do this! I dont mind doing extra laundry as long as they help put it away.

MERANDA FIBLE JACOBS Turn them off and tell them to go outside, youre the parent, and parents should go outside, too! Our kids are obese these days cause their parents usually are and just as lazy!
JASON CURTIS I say, Hey, turn that off and go outside!
TAMI WORLEY HOLLOMAN My 6-year-old will stay on his DS all the time if allowed. However, hes given boundaries and is expected to abide by them. If its time to go out and play, its time to go out and play. No ifs, ands or buts about it!
CARLYN LYN COLE Take it from them, and send them outside.
MARIE FERGUSON We dont have them. I have been tempted to buy a Wii or DS, but I have not yet. We dont even have cable, just DVDs. So the kids get bored watching the same movie over and over, so they play outside a lot.
MONICA SPEIGHTS EVANS You set the example fi rst! What they see their par-ents do they will do. And make your kids respect you. Dont let them say No.
ANNA SELLERS We just dont buy any cool games. We have PS2 for music and DVD purposes. I buy board games or outside toys.
APRIL JOHNS We have a time limit on games and electronics, 30 minutes a day and only 30 minutes no exceptions. Then they are taken up and stored till next time.
What do you do to get your child to put down the electronics and get outside?

Ask your pediatric health questions on Facebook & well get the answer.

infant ear infectionsQ My 8-month-old had his first ear infection. Ive heard so much about ear infections leading to hearing loss. Should I be concerned?
Aside from check-ups, ear infections are the most common rea-son children see pediatricians. In fact, 75 percent of children will have an ear infection by age 3. While it is true that everyone experiences some mild hearing loss during an ear infection be-cause of extra fluid in the middle ear (behind the eardrum), this almost always resolves when the ear infection is treated. Overall, the risk of long-term hearing loss after an ear infection is extremely low. Occasionally, however, children will continue to have fluid behind their eardrums after an infection. This fluid is referred to as an ear effusion. The vast majority of these effusions will get better within three months with no extra treatment. Your childs pediatrician will keep a close eye on his ear to make sure this effusion resolves. If he develops a persistent ear effusion that lasts more than three months, your pediatrician may refer him to see an ear, nose and throat specialist to consider ear tube placement to help the fluid drain out of the middle ear. As a parent, there are a few things you can do to reduce his risk of future ear infections: avoiding cigarette smoke, not giving him a bottle when you put him down to sleep and limiting exposure to sick playmates. You should also let his pediatrician know if you are concerned about how he responds to sounds, babbles or is learning to make his first words after an ear infection at this age.
Patterson
cold sores in kidsQ My 12-year-old gets frequent cold sores. What causes them and how can we get
rid of them for good?
Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are common in children of all ages, and can occur on the lips, face or inside of the mouth. They are caused by a virus known as Herpes Simplex virus (HSV). Most cold sores are caused by HSV-1 which can be acquired at any age from contact with saliva of an infected individual. Children can be inadvertently exposed to this virus at home from parents or siblings or at school and day care from other kids. The first episode of HSV infec-tion usually occurs in childhood and is more severe resulting in painful blisters and symptoms like fever, fatigue and body aches. After the initial infection, HSV can recur at any frequency and may result in less severe cold sores. Things that cause a recurrence include trauma, sunburn, stress and any other illness which decrease the function of the immune system. There is no permanent cure for HSV but antiviral medications can be used in two ways. They can be given at the beginning of an outbreak to reduce the symptoms and duration. Alternatively, if the outbreaks are occurring frequently, antiviral medications can be used as daily suppressive therapy. Most people never require these antiviral medications. Other medications can be used to control the pain by oral or topical route. If your child has a cold sore outbreak, he should not kiss anyone or share any personal items like razors, cups or utensils with anyone else.

Is your child in constant motion? Does he make careless mistakes? Does he seem to not listen? Is he easily distracted? Does he not finish tasks?
diagnosing ADHD in preschoolers
Do the above points sound like a typical 4-year-old? Absolutely. Kids are like puppies when they are young, full of fun and energy ... and in need of self-control. Thats what growing up is for. But thats also why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) relatively new (five-month-old) guidelines to include children as young as 4 years
old in the ADHD bracket is of concern to some parents. Diagnosing and medicating children as young as age 4 requires closely monitoring the child since he is more sensitive to side effects than older children. Some parents are concerned. Preschoolers can go all day and its tiring for their parents, says Cynthia Ringer of Madison, a grandmother of two preschoolers ages 4 and 5. To me, unless your child is an absolute terror, you stay away from medication. Try other things like disciplining your child, for instance. A lot of parents dont do that anymore and its a real problem theyd rather fix with a pill. But doctors say ADHD can be detected when a child is young and is not solely related to misbehaviors in kids. ADHD is a chronic condition that can start early, says Harold Koplewicz, M.D., president of the Child Mind Institute. Yet with no single test used to diagnose the disorder doctors rely on feedback from parents, coaches, caregivers and teachers ADHD is ultimately diagnosed based upon opinions, observations and symptoms the child displays which can vary in degree. Serious signs include aggressiveness (which can get a child kicked out of childcare or preschool), trouble focusing on activities like bedtime stories and uncontrollable behaviors such as dashing into a busy parking lot. So while a large study from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) shows that children ages 3 - 5 can benefit greatly from treatment and that low doses of medication appear to be safe and effective, diagnosing a child with ADHD is serious business and not something for parents to enter into lightly. To make a diagnosis, doctors must confirm that criteria is met as put forth in the Diagnostic and Statisti-cal Manual of Mental Disorders from the American Psychiatric Association which describes all mental health conditions in children and adults. Serious business indeed. susan day
A Successful ADHD Plan For parents who suspect their child may have ADHD, William Cooper, M.D., professor of pediatrics and preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University says to follow these three important rules:
Work with your childs health care provider to make sure you are
getting the right diagnosis.
Understand your treatment options.
Understand the risks and benefits.

, Titanic
Its been 100 years since the ship of dreams met its demise in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. And were still mesmerized.
By Susan Day
B ounties of articles and books, several movies including an Academy Award-winning smash and we still cant get enough of Titanic. Why? What is it about Titanics story that still capti-vates, and, after all this time, is there possibly anything new we can learn about it? The answer is a resounding yes. Were still captivated by Titanics story because it holds fascinating truths about our humanness that are diffi cult to wrestle with: Truths like, rich or poor, in the end, all the money in the world cannot save us. And, magnifi cent achievements are a marvel, yes, but ambitions to achieve at all costs can lead to disaster. So when Titanic went down on April 15, 1912 after striking an iceberg, a mo-mentous memory was created to last a lifetime with newspapers around the world exclaiming the disaster, among them the New York Times with, Titanic Sinks Four Hours After Hitting Iceberg; 866 Rescued By Carpathia, Probably 1250 Perish; Ismay Safe, Mrs. Astor Maybe, Noted Names Missing ... (you can see all these various front page newspapers in the exhibit). Enter The Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge a celebration, if you
will, of the historic ship, passengers and crew. Founded by John Joslyn and his wife, Mary Kellogg-Joslyn, John led the fi rst expedition to recover and restore artifacts from the ocean fl oor in 1987 and has been deeply passionate about Titanic for years. Titanic Pigeon Forge is the Joslyns second Titanic museum (the fi rst was built in Branson, Mo., in 2006), and Pigeon Forges was built for $25 million, boasting a massive 30,000-square-foot ship replica visitors can see upon approach on the Pigeon Forge Parkway. Theres good reason why the Joslyns built a second Titanic: the museum is fantastic. Aiming to make the museum personal for visitors, once you make your way to the front of the line, each passenger is given a Board-ing Pass with the name of a character written on the back. I was Nellie Bessette, a 39-year-old fi rst class passenger from Briarcliff, N.Y. You can read about yourself in a terrifi c profi le on the back of the Boarding Pass, and you fi nd out at the end if you survived or not. I did. Once inside the exhibit, one of the fi rst things youll see is a dollhouse-size replica of the ship so you can look into every nook and cranny to your hearts content. Theres also a large, interactive light up wall where youll learn lots of interesting things about the ship, for instance, did you

, Titanicknow that there was a Turkish bath on board and a swimming pool? Winding through a room of artifacts, youll be surprised by the bed warmer and other assorted items of interest before moving on to the second room dedicated to the ships design. Discover the enormity of the task by studying a large black and white photograph of the massive drafting room alone, and numer-ous floor to ceiling photographs as you wind your way into the Shipyard area. Elements that are fun and repeated throughout the museum are Test Your Knowledge spinners where you guess the answer to a trivia question about Titanic then spin the canister for your answer. Ah, Titanic. In 1911, Shipbuilder Magazine declared it practically unsinkable, while other magazines declared it the wonder ship and the last word on luxury; The Wall Street Jour-nal named it The millionaires special. That millionaires special took 325 men working in a boliler room in shifts to run. Theyd take turns shoveling the coal into gigantic furnaces (5,892 tons of coal was on board) and kids can try their hands at shoveling a load and watching the fire roar in the furnace that coal was heavy! Walk on ... each room that you move through changes in design and presentation so your interest is always piqued. The third class gallery holds a true-to-life hallway filled with shadowboxes of artifacts and even a stairwell where rushing water comes at you, allowing you to imagine just for a moment how horrendous indeed that night must have been for so many. You will be shocked at how small a third-class cabin was, yet in 1912, it was considered a new standard of comfort even for third class. Move on to the grand staircase and a fact- informed costumed re-enactor will tell you every detail here you might want to know (there are numerous re-enactors all throughout Titanic who can answer anything and everything you want to know about the ship). The crown jewel of Titanic is the grand staircase. Look up to see that its crowned by a gorgeous milk-white skylight dome, backlit at night. Walk the beautiful staircase it was reserved only for first class back then and boasted 24-carat gold leafing on the balus-trades and Austrian crystal chandeliers. The big upgrade of the century here? The floors made of linoleum! It was a brand new invention, and anyone who was anyone had to have it!
Continue through the luxury of the Stateroom with its fireplace and divans, then take time to enter the first class hallway. Double mirrors give the illusion that this is a long hallway indeed, and it plays with your imagina-tion. The sound in here replicates the soft roaring of the engine. The tour pauses next in an interior room paying tribute to Titanic, the movie (Titanic 3D opens nationwide this month) and you can see sev-eral of the props, gorgeous hats and costumes actress Kate Winslet wore in the film in addition to outfits worn by Leonardo DeCaprio. The Bridge was my daughters favorite part of the tour and it came next. Looking just as it did in real life, you look out past the steering wheel into the star-lit night beyond. A costumed officer can tell you in keen and exciting de-tail exactly what hap-pened in the minutes following the iceberg strike. Those of us in the bridge at the mo-ment were absolutely captivated by him. Now walk outside and touch the side of the iceberg. From sighting it to the actual impact, there was a mere 37 seconds. Put your hand in the 28-degree water and see how long you can stand it ... you will learn ... that in five minutes, an average person would be shivering uncontrollably and running on pure instinct, unable to speak or think. It took only 30 minutes for passengers in the water to succumb. Other interesting aspects to the museum is the lost film, Titanic, which you can sit and watch boasting actual footage of Titanic in its slip before de-parting for Southampton for boarding. The final room allows you to experi-ence the sloping of the ship that pas-sengers had to deal with: try standing on it at 12-degrees, 30 and then 45.

P igeon Forge offers up lots of accom-modations for visiting families along the bustling parkway, but if youre like me, I prefer to get away from it all. So it was pure luck that I discovered The Lodge at Buckberry Creek located in adjacent Gatlinburg, just 15 minutes from the Titanic Museum. The Lodge, a lovely upscale retreat boasting Adirondack-style architecture and never-ending charm, has 44 luxury suites, gourmet dining and spectacular views. You can easily spend long days relaxing here without venturing elsewhere (take a steep ride in a Pinzgauer truck a German made vehicle originally constructed for the Swiss Army down to the lodges pavilion). The pavilion, a beautiful covered deck complete with a fi replace, dining tables and the gurgling Buckberry Creek running beside it, allows you to commune with nature in rain or shine; order lunch to take with you or request one from the pavilion phone while youre there.
Perched on 90 acres of mountainside property, each guest suite has unique decor, a ready-to-light wood-burning fi replace, luxury baths and whirlpool tubs.
Owner Buddy McClean worked with designers and spared no expense in achiev-ing an upscale mountain setting. McClean wants your family to be comfortable and cared for when youre there and even active if you want to be. If your family wants to fi sh, for instance, McClean will do everything to make the arrangements to set up your family with an off-sight excursion.
The Lodge at Buckberry Creek makes for a wonderful getaway all of its own and there were several Nashville families there when we spent then night. Keep it in mind for this summer or even the fall when the foliage is absolutely to die for! susan day
WHERE TO STAY:The Lodge at Buckberry CreekA Perfect Destination in Gatlinburg

You can also sit in a life-sized lifeboat next to a giant wall-sized image of the ship going down, listening to anecdotes on a headset from survivors. And theres more. In the Discovery Room, youll be able to see a dramatic recreation of Titanics debris fi eld including lights and sounds from when it was fi rst discovered in 1985. Last but not least is the gift shop, fi lled with all kinds of mementos and gifts includ-ing a $189 Heart of the Ocean necklace, books, pictures, dishes, toys, purses, post-ers, clothes and more. Take time some weekend soon to visit the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, maybe even this month. Special events are planned for April 14 and 15. Also be sure to visit the website so you can learn about all of the other events and specials the museum offers throughout the year. The museum is open all year long.
