First, it must be understood that thumb sucking is a "natural reflex". An ultrasound test on a developing baby will often show him or her sucking a thumb. When this habit goes on for too long, however, orthodontic problems can often occur. By the age of six or seven, the child's permanent teeth are just beginning to arrive. Before then, thumb sucking will cause few problems. After permanent teeth arrive, abnormal pressure from the thumb can cause the front upper teeth to become "bucked". The bottom front teeth then become crowded backward. A misalignment of the teeth occurs. So, how do you stop thumb sucking for your four or five year old? Some have found gloving the hand, dipping the thumb in vinegar and increased attention to the child help. In the end, though, treatment depends on how long and often the thumb sucking occurs. To avoid any permanent damage, don't delay your attempts to stop this habit. Q: A: (905) 877-CARE (2273) Is thumb sucking bad?

(P.T.), B.Sc.(KIN) Registered Physiotherapist, Clinic Manager www.eramosaphysio.com Q: A: I recently had a bunch of blood tests done and my doctor says I am at risk of developing diabetes. How does he know this and what can I do to try and prevent diabetes? Your blood tests may have revealed that you have Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT). This means your blood sugar levels were higher than average but not as high as those of people with diabetes. Some people with IGT will go on to develop type 2 diabetes, others can bring their blood sugar levels back to normal with simple lifestyle changes. Lifestyle changes that can help include: 1. Modifying your diet. Increase your daily intake of fresh fruits and vegetables and reduce your fat and sugar intake. Follow Canada's Food Guide to improve your diet. 2. Quitting smoking. Diabetes and smoking both increase the chance of heart disease. 3. Getting active. Work towards getting 60 minutes of physical activity each day. 4. Controlling other medical conditions. High cholesterol and high blood pressure are risk factors for developing diabetes. Take your medication as prescribed to help keep these conditions under control. 5. Maintaining or reaching a healthy weight. Being at a healthy weight reduces your risk of developing many conditions that are associated with obesity. These include diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

A: Concussion treatment initially involves determining a baseline for the athlete's neuro-cognitive function (the ability of the individual to think and problem solve). This allows the doctor to track the athlete's recovery. The goal of the treatment is to allow the brain to heal. Treatment will initially include rest from sport, work and school or any activity until all concussion symptoms (headaches, blurred vision, difficulty concentrating, vomiting etc.) have been eliminated. Once you are not demonstrating any symptoms, the doctor will allow you to graduate your return to activity. The following are the series of steps you will follow. (You can not be progressed into the next step if any of your symptoms reoccur): 1) Return to activities of daily living i.e. school or work 2) Return to sport specific training without body contact 3) Return to practice with body contact The guidelines may seem stringent, but the risk of a permanent brain injury is the risk.
