As Students Return to School, Dr. Eric Siani Cautions Parents about School Diets

Aug. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Palmdale, CA – August 6, 2010 – Dr. Eric Siani has his calendar marked. With Palmdale schools starting back, his schedule fills up with appointments for checkups. Most parents coordinate routine checkups like dental and eye exams with the school calendar. In the case of Dr. Eric Siani, a summer of poor hygiene, junk food and infrequent flossing brings a steady stream of cavities through his office.

Another issue that impacts kids is the opportunities for students to make poor choices when it comes to school lunches. All schools offer options when it comes to lunch and that opens the door for cupcakes, soft drinks and candy bars. While it used to be apples, oranges and bananas, students seldom make solid choices; it is most often about speed and taste. The results are predictable and Dr. Eric Siani tries to talk to kids as he has a captive audience while they are in his chair.

Dr. Eric Siani is a big proponent of flossing. Everyone has floss in their bathroom. If you are from Palmdale, the floss may have come from the office of Dr. Eric Siani. Flossing is one of the simplest activities that anyone can master and yet Dr. Eric Siani hears few references to students doing it. Students shy away from things that seem out of synch with their peers and flossing certainly is not a wildly embraced habit. For Dr. Eric Siani, talking about diet, dental maintenance and eating habits with children has become second nature. Dr. Eric Siani considers himself an educator of sorts. With more than thirty years of experience and hundreds of patients who began visiting his offices as children, his practice in now multi-generational. Every parent who began as a young patient of Dr. Eric Siani has heard the same message. Take care of your teeth and they will take care of you!
