Houses built before 1978 make up over half of the homes in Missouri - your patients could be exposed to lead paint in a variety of ways. Paint from older homes, old water pipes, playing with keys and many other factors can contribute to exposure. Test children 3 and under yearly when they visit your office.

When you're talking to families about their child's diet, are you mentioning that nutrition can prevent lead absorption? Vitamin C, iron and calcium all contribute to a balanced diet as well as combatting lead poisoning. Keep your patients informed and test their blood lead levels yearly!
