Behind the Smile
Uncovering the hidden causes of your child's everyday struggles.Why does your child snore, grind their teeth, or wake up tired every morning?Why do they have trouble focusing at school, struggle to feed and eat, speak clearly, or breathe through their nose?Why does it feel like no one can give you a straight answer - except to say, 'They'll grow out of it'?Behind The Smile invites parents to look deeper - behind the symptoms that too often get brushed aside. This insightful and compassionate book reveals the often-overlooked connections between a child's oral development, airway health, and overall wellbeing.Through a real patient's journey, practical guidance, and the latest understanding of functional growth, it shows that many common childhood issues - from feeding challenges and speech difficulties to behavioural concerns and poor sleep - may share the same root causes. And, most importantly, that early intervention can make all the difference.If you've ever felt dismissed, frustrated, or desperate for answers, this book offers clarity, hope, and a new way forward - helping your child grow and thrive as nature intended.Every parent needs to read this book!Dr Donny Mandrawa is a myofunctional dentist dedicated to uncovering the hidden reasons behind children's health and developmental challenges. What began as curiosity about why some children struggle to eat, sleep, breathe, or grow like their peers became a lifelong mission to help families find answers. Through his compassionate, whole-child approach and collaboration with other practitioners, he supports natural growth and function, giving every child the best chance to thrive.
The Role of Dental Nurses in Oral Health Promotion to Prevent Dental Caries in Children within General Dental Practices
Dental caries remains one of the most common yet preventable chronic conditions affecting children worldwide, despite strong evidence supporting preventive dentistry; oral health inequalities persist, particularly among children from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Addressing this challenge requires not only effective clinical interventions but also a strategic re-evaluation of how preventive care is delivered within everyday dental practice.This book presents a comprehensive scoping review of global evidence examining the roles of dental nurses in oral health promotion to prevent dental caries in children within general dental practices. Drawing on international literature and guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, the book systematically maps the preventive activities undertaken by dental nurses, including fluoride varnish application, oral health education, supervised toothbrushing, dietary counselling, and behavioural change interventions.The findings reveal that dental nurses are well-positioned to support prevention-focused models of care, yet their roles remain inconsistently defined and underutilised across healthcare systems. While evidence from high-income countries-particularly the United Kingdom-demonstrates promising outcomes, significant gaps remain in research quality, geographic representation, and long-term evaluation.Written for dental professionals, educators, policymakers, and public health practitioners, this book provides an evidence-informed foundation for strengthening the role of dental nurses in preventive dentistry. It highlights opportunities for workforce development, policy reform, and future research to reduce oral health inequalities and improve outcomes for children worldwide.Thank you

Bone Anchored Maxillary Expander
Bone Anchored Maxillary Expander is an advanced orthodontic technique designed to achieve skeletal expansion of the maxilla in patients with transverse maxillary deficiency, especially in late adolescents and adults. Unlike conventional rapid palatal expanders that rely on dental anchorage, MARPE utilizes mini-implants or TADs placed in the palate to directly transmit expansion forces to the mid-palatal suture. This method minimizes dentoalveolar tipping and maximizes skeletal changes. It effectively separates the palatal suture, enhancing orthopedic outcomes without the need for surgical assistance. MARPE has become an effective alternative to surgically assisted expansion, offering increased stability and control during transverse maxillary correction.
Nanotechnology in Periodontics
Nanotechnology in Periodontics provides an in-depth scientific overview of the growing role of nanotechnology in periodontal therapy, focusing on its integration into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases. The book examines the use of nanostructured materials such as nanocomposites, nanoporous membranes, nanofibrous scaffolds, and nanoscale drug delivery systems to enhance both non-surgical and surgical interventions. These technologies enable targeted antimicrobial delivery, prolonged intra-pocket drug release, biofilm disruption, and regeneration of key periodontal structures like cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. The text also explores how nanomaterials improve biomaterial-tissue integration, modulate inflammation, and support guided tissue regeneration. Future advancements including nano-biosensors and smart therapeutics are discussed as promising tools in achieving precision periodontics. Positioned at the intersection of periodontology and nanoscience, this book highlights nanotechnology as a transformative approach for advancing periodontal care and improving patient outcomes.
