If you’ve been with us since the beginning then you might remember why this podcast started.. Micha was looking for more information on the best toothbrush for her son with Down syndrome. She and Heather quickly realized there was no information out there about dentistry and DS.. and especially no podcasts about it. So they called Mercedes and started this one.. vowing to have a dentist on as a guest! And today (nearly 200 episodes later..) we are SO excited to share an interview with Samantha Healy, a pediatric dentist and mother to a child with Down syndrome. She’s taking us through every moment of her son’s surprising birth story + giving us all the info we need to keep up with our children’s oral hygiene! We’re getting specific about tooth brushes, tooth paste, floss, and more. Samantha also shares her top tips for easing dental anxiety and why you should think twice before sharing a spoon with your baby! Get ready to take some notes!
