On October 25th, the 3rd class of the first grade of the primary school attached to the mountain teacher ushered in a special "parent" - Dr. Hu of Shunjia Dentistry. Dr. Hu used his professional knowledge and vivid and interesting explanations to bring a unique "Parent Class" to the students, guiding them how to grow into a qualified oral warrior.
Teeth are the hardest organs in the human body, and each tooth is divided into two parts: the crown and the root. In a person's life, there are two sets of teeth, namely baby teeth and permanent teeth. Baby teeth: 20 teeth, which begin to erupt 6-7 months after birth, and grow around 2 and a half years old. Permanent teeth: After the last set of teeth, permanent teeth fall out, and there will be no more teeth erupting in the area that was lost.
According to the development characteristics of the teeth of the children in the class, Dr. Hu explained to the children in simple terms the structure of teeth, how caries is formed and how to protect our teeth by brushing our teeth in daily life, and had an interesting interaction with the students, helping the children to understand teeth and common dental diseases, and the children listened very carefully.
Tooth decay, also known as tooth decay, is a disease in which the hard tissue of the tooth is continuously destroyed due to a variety of factors, including bacterial infection. It can be secondary to pulpitis and apical periodontitis, and can even cause inflammation of the alveolar bone and jaw. If left untreated, the lesion continues to develop and cavities are formed, which do not heal on their own, and the end result is that the crown is completely destroyed until the tooth disappears.
With the change of people's diet and living habits, the prevalence of dental caries has increased year by year, and it has become a common oral disease that affects the health of our children.
Then, Dr. Hu shared with the students how to brush their teeth correctly, and the most effective way to protect their teeth is to develop a good habit of brushing their teeth, brushing at least twice a day for 3 minutes each time within 3 minutes after eating, that is, the "three-two-three system" of oral hygiene. Remind students to use fluoride toothpaste and soft-bristled toothbrushes, eat less snacks and sweets, and rinse their mouths in time after meals. Finally, Dr. Hu reminded the students that pit and fissure sealing can be done after the permanent molars have completely erupted, and the dentist has confirmed that the indications are met.
Finally, Dr. Hu presented children's toothpaste and toothbrushes to everyone, and the on-site teaching helped the children further learn and learn how to brush their teeth to protect their teeth.
