This document discusses non-pharmacological treatment options for epilepsy, including epilepsy surgery, dietary treatments, and neurostimulation. It provides information on when these alternatives should be considered, the options available, and for which patients they may be suitable. Key points include: epilepsy surgery may be underused in the UK and can provide seizure freedom or reduction; the ketogenic diet has been shown to reduce seizures in about 15-30% of patients after 6 months depending on the study; and corpus callosotomy and vagus nerve stimulation are established palliative procedures for treatment-resistant generalized seizures.
The European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) recommends regular fluoride use in children. It supports the use of fluoride toothpaste as part of a basic preventive program to check the development of dental caries in children. A 2008 EAPD conference in Athens established guidelines for fluoride use in children based on the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology for developing evidence-based recommendations. The guidelines provide advice on fluoride toothpaste dosage and frequency tailored to different age groups.
