Derived from the Internet

September 20, 2022 is the 34th "National Love Day". The theme of this year is "Oral Health • Full of Health", and the sub -theme is "Toothy Guojin tooth Junior • Healthy Chinese Nation".

Oral health is an important part of whole body health, which is closely related to the health of the whole body. Zhou Xiaoyi, deputy chief physician of the Department of Stomatology of Zhanjiang Central People's Hospital, told reporters that oral diseases are significantly related to many chronic diseases, and have a common risk factors such as chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases. Preventing and controlling oral diseases can not only maintain oral health, but also promote overall health and improve the quality of life.

Youth's dental caries are growing rapidly

Tooth decay is also a dental dental caries, which is a disease in the role of the lower tooth and the essence of the dental and dental essence of the dental tissue defect.

"Caries are very common, especially during teenagers, the incidence rate is not only very high or even seriously endangered the child's oral health." Zhou Xiaoyi said.

From January to July this year, more than 22,000 people were visited by the Department of Stomatology of the People's Hospital of Zhanjiang Central, of which about 38.5 % were young people under 18 years old.

According to the results of the "Fourth National Oral Health Popularity Survey", Chinese youth caries are growing rapidly, and the rate of caries in 5 -year -old children in my country have reached 70.9 %, and the incidence of permanent dental caries in 12 -year -old teeth is 34.5 %.

Oral health in childhood is the basis of the whole life cycle oral health, which is essential for oral health for a lifetime. Therefore, preventing dental caries and protecting teeth is a very important health care work.

How to form tooth decay? What are the symptoms?

Zhou Xiaoyi explained that a layer of plaque on the surface of our teeth is often adhered to. Whenever the child eats sugar (carbohydrate), the bacteria of the plaque will break down the sugar in the food and produce acidic substances. These acidic substances start to "corrode" on the surface of the teeth, which causes acid erosion to lose the minerals of the tooth tissue, damage the surface of the child's teeth, and form a black hole.

The initial tooth decay does not feel pain. The surface of the teeth is usually clean, and the hole cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is even more difficult to detect that the destructive part of the tooth is. You need to use X -ray inspection to see.

The mid -term tooth decay spreads to the essence of the teeth. If the child continues to eat too much sugar, the tooth decay situation becomes harsh, and the teeth will appear black.

If the tooth decay spreads to the pulp in the later period, there will be obvious holes in the teeth, which will cause drama pain. The pulp was necrotic due to bacterial infection. Bacteria spread from the pulp of the pulp through the root of the pulp to the nearby periodontal tissue. This will cause the child to inflammation of the root of the dental root, and even the abscess and the gum drum. At this time, the child's teeth can only be treated with professional doctors for dental pulp treatment.

Three small details, keep the tooth decay away from the child

Zhou Xiaoyi introduced that the broken teeth may have odor, leading to bad breath and affecting children's social life. When the tooth decay is severe, it will cause continuous pain, affect the child's appetite, study and daily life. When the dental nerve necrosis is severe, the bacteria easily spread to the tip of the teeth, causing the child's teeth to be inflamed.

In daily life, three small details help children prevent tooth decay. The first is to cultivate children's good eating habits. Every time the child eats, the minerals on the teeth will be lost. The more you eat and drink, the greater the chance of tooth decay. Therefore, three meals in the morning, middle, and night should be regular. Drink less sugar drinks or tea during thirst. Drinking plenty of water can protect the growth of tooth decay.

The second is to allow children to brush their teeth regularly every day. Children can use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth every day (generally recommended that children can spit itself and start using it). Fluoride can consolidate teeth and make the teeth do not be infringed by acid. At the same time, you need to keep your teeth twice in the morning and evening, master the correct way to brush your teeth, and fill it up for three minutes.

The third is to conduct regular tooth examination and tracking. Because there are no symptoms in the early formation of tooth decay, parents should take their children to see 1-2 dentists each year for regular examinations, and do necessary preventive measures and treatment.
