Establishing a Foundation for Oral Health: Prevention, Trauma, and Clinical Guidance with Dr. Ashley Lerman | Blueberry Pediatrics Podcast

Oral health is a critical, yet often overlooked, pillar of systemic pediatric wellness. In this episode of the Blueberry Pediatrics Podcast, Dr. Lyndsey Garbi, MD, sits down with board-certified pediatric dentist and First Grin founder, Dr. Ashley Lerman, to discuss the clinical realities of early childhood dental care.

We will discuss:

Preventive Milestones: The clinical rationale behind the "Age One" dental visit.

Trauma Management: Acute protocols for avulsed (knocked-out) primary vs. permanent teeth.

Evidence on Fluoride & Sealants: Reviewing the gold standard for caries prevention and addressing current public health discourse.

Developmental Concerns: Evaluating the impacts of mouth breathing, tongue ties, and bruxism (grinding) on pediatric development.

Behavioral Positioning: Clinical techniques for effective at-home oral hygiene for young children.

Dr. Ashley Lerman is a board-certified pediatric dentist specializing in early intervention and health equity. Through her platform, First Grin, she works to reduce the incidence of childhood caries by providing families with high-quality educational resources and oral care kits.
