Dr. Susan Cocke



Happy New Year! To start this year off, we are focusing on Dr. Susan Cocke, a Pediatric Allergy and Immunology specialist located in Yorba Linda at St. Jude Heritage Medical Group. Dr. Cocke's passion goes beyond simply covering up symptoms, but strongly focuses on prevention and strengthening the immune system. In her bio, Dr. Cocke states,
As an Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology specialist, I'm committed to helping patients improve their health. The first step is to proactively develop a plan for each person that emphasizes prevention and promotes health, this is especially important for patients with allergies and immunodeficiency problems. I believe in taking an Integrative approach to strengthening the immune system- from nutrition and medications to acupuncture. My goal is to recognize a patient's vulnerability to a disease or illness and help them avoid related problems and maintain good health.
Using alternative approaches, such as nutrition and acupuncture, Dr. Cocke goes to the root of the problem instead of simply relying on medicine to mask symptoms, something that Kudlik Dental highly values in physicians. Because of her dedication to her field, Dr. Cocke was recognized as a 2016 OCMA Physician of Excellence!

Natural Ways To Help Prevent Cavities!

B eyond good oral hygiene (brushing 2 minutes both in am & pm + flossing BEFORE the bedtime tooth-brushing), these 5 things can keep you decay free! * Xylitol is a natural sweetener that tastes similar to sugar.  6-10g/day can help prevent decay by fooling decay causing bacteria into thinking it is fruit sugar, and essentially starving the bacteria.  These bacteria also become less virulent with continued use over time.   *Water (and other carbohydrate-free beverages) should be your beverage of choice between meals. Enjoy your juices, milks, and even the occasional soda pop with your meal, when your teeth are already dirty.  If you are unable to brush your teeth after a meal, you should minimally rinse your mouth with water.  * Limit your frequency of eating to 3 meals a day plus 2-3 protein snacks like nuts and cheeses; these are anti- decay foods (nuts may be raw or roasted, but not honey - or sugar coasted). * Brush with baking soda ...

Bottle Rot

Sometimes bedtime can be a really struggle, and a bottle might seem like an easy solution. Unfortunately, putting a baby to bed with a bottle of milk or juice does more harm than good, because the easier bedtime comes at the expense of the baby’s oral health. Keeping those baby teeth healthy is crucial so that the adult teeth will have a better chance of coming in straight. In previous blogs we've highlighted the importance of limiting carbohydrate intake to meals to prevent adult teeth decay.  This idea is just as important for children as it is for adults!  Good oral health starts at a  young age, and it’s important we do everything possible to prevent tooth decay from the moment those baby teeth emerge.  What Is Bottle Rot? Prolonged exposure to the sugars in milk or juice  erodes the enamel on a baby or toddler’s teeth , particularly the central incisors. If you’ve ever heard of the phrase “baby bottle tooth decay” or the more sinister-...

Genetics vs Environment Article by Dr. Cindy

“I Have Soft Teeth Like My Mom” Are your teeth susceptible to tooth decay due to your genetic makeup or to your environmental influences? Let’s take a quick look at both sides: Genetics It is well known that you are made up of DNA from both of your parents, and as a result you inherit certain traits from each of them! Perhaps you have your mom’s eyes and your dad’s chin…and perhaps one of your parent’s genes dominates what your teeth are shaped like from the outside, and the other how they are constructed from the inside. But how does that really affect you? Let’s take a look at the anatomy of a tooth. Your teeth are made up of layers:  Enamel is the hard, outer shell; Dentin is the yellow, middle layer; the Pulp chamber is the pink and red inner core of your teeth where the nerve and blood supply reside. The mineral-rich enamel is the first and outer line of defense against decay, protecting your teeth from the surrounding acids. Teeth resist deca...
