Pediatric Dentistry

    In this blog, I will tell you about one of the specialties that strikes me, pediatric dentistry.

    It strikes me as one of the people who inspired me to study dentistry was my pediatric dentist. She was very sweet, kind and an excellent dentist.

    But what is pediatric dentistry?

    The pediatric dentist is the specialist dentist who is responsible for the dental treatment of children, mainly dedicated to carrying out restorative treatment of parts and, as a general rule, they are the first contact of the infant patient with the dental world, so on many occasions, it will be the pediatric dentist who refers the patient to the orthodontist.

It must be borne in mind that the dental treatment of a child is extremely important to prevent future alterations but also to establish a good relationship between the dentist and the patient.     The first visit to the dentist of an infant will be with the pediatric dentist.

Today, it is recommended that the first visit to the pediatric dentist be made when the child is one year old.

Is important to visit the dentist and attend the corresponding controls.

The DKMS photo.

The photograph in this newspaper is very important to me, because since I started to become aware of how important it is to be able to help others. I always wanted to be able to contribute my grain of sand, either by being a donor, supporting a campaign, being able to donate, etc.

Until last year, I could not donate blood, because I did not have all the requirements. But when I fulfilled the requirements, I went to donate blood, for a girl who was fighting leukemia, her name was Catalina, just like me and she was only 8 years old. I was touched by his story when his report came out on TV, as well as all the stories that have to do with people who are having a hard time. Catalina, in addition to needing blood donors, also needed to find a 100% compatible stem cell donor.

Although I am afraid of needles, I made the decision and asked my boyfriend to accompany me to donate blood. We went very early one day.

I began to follow the story of the Catita very closely, like other children.

I found out how to be a stem cell donor. And I came to DKMS, a foundation that is in several countries and is responsible for bringing together potential stem cell donors, to fight against blood cancer.

As I was saying before, I was following the story of Catita and I found out that there was going to be a campaign at the Cata school, to find a possible donor for her or for anyone. So I signed up as a volunteer with my boyfriend to find potential donors.

That day many people came to register as a donor, and it was a record, since DKMS Chile had few registered.

Thanks to that, several people with blood cancer have been able to find a donor (genetic twin)

I am very happy to have been able to help and be part of DKMS.

The Mountain

I like the mountain a lot, because I was born and still live in the San José de Maipo mountain, it's a quiet place, full of nature and places where one can go trekking and sightseeing. In winter it's covered with snow and many people come to know and to snowboard. It's a beautiful landscape ( I'll leave a photo so you can appreciate how beautiful it's).

Although living in the mountains has its privileges, because it's surrounded by trees and clean air, it's quiet and there are not even many cases of theft, I would dare to say that there are hardly any.

But it's far from my university, public transportation is intermittent, even when a lot of snow falls there are roads cuts and power outages, internet or cell phone signal ( although this often happens on normal days). But despite that, I would not change where I live, because the tranquility is unmatched.
