For Your Health: Celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month by teaching children good dental habits
By Shai Davis, Special to the Daily Republic
February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. This national health observance reinforces the benefits of good oral health among children.
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the United States, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that children who have poor oral health – more than 1 in 5 children ages 2 to 5 years old – have at least one cavity in their baby teeth. Untreated cavities can cause pain, infections and problems with speaking, eating and learning. Children who suffer from poor oral health are three times more likely to miss school because of dental pain.
“With all due respect to our fancy training system, nothing can replace the personal touch,” said BigID’s Head of HR, Dana Fischer. The data protection company has seen ‘tremendous’ growth in 2020, but working from home has still put a damper on the interpersonal relations.
BigID made efforts to maintain their sense of community during lockdowns, such as providing free babysitter services and checking in on employees who live alone, but Covid-19 naturally posed unique challenges for HR teams.
Fischer joined CTech for its HR Post-Covid series to explore how the company became Israel’s number one startup to work at despite these unprecedented challenges.
