In order to care for the oral health problems of the urban masses and improve the level of oral health, on October 15, the Fu'an Municipal Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Party and the Mindong Hospital organized the medical staff of the Department of Stomatology to carry out the special oral health activity of "Health Lecture Hall • Warm Sunset with One Heart" in the Fu'an Municipal Library, and Liang Liqi, vice chairman of the Fu'an Municipal CPPCC committee and chairman of the Fu'an Municipal Committee of the Peasants' and Workers' Party, came to the scene and delivered a speech.
What should I pay attention to when caring for my teeth? What are the common oral diseases? How should problems with the oral cavity be solved? The answers were given at this event. Head nurse Liu Caiyue of the Department of Stomatology popularized the basic knowledge of oral health on the spot, and taught the correct brushing method and the use of floss. Deputy Chief Physician He Kongyan conveys the most professional and practical oral health knowledge, such as the prevention and treatment of oral diseases such as caries, dentition defects, periodontal disease, etc., and answers oral disease problems encountered or may be encountered in daily life. Oral hygiene products such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, flosses, mouthwashes and other oral hygiene products were also distributed free of charge at the event site, and small benefits of caring for oral health were given to the audience.
The World Health Organization's "8020" standard for dental health impressed the audience, He Kongyan explained that the "8020" standard is that the 80-year-old should have at least 20 functional teeth (that is, teeth that can chew food normally and do not loosen), to achieve the purpose of ensuring longevity and improving the quality of life by extending the life of teeth. Each person has 32 permanent teeth and 28 teeth that actually function. When one or two teeth fall out, it does not affect the health of the whole body, but when there are less than 20 teeth left, it has an impact on oral function. If the fallen teeth are repaired in time and more than 20 functional teeth are maintained in the mouth, the aging rate of people will slow down, which is conducive to prolonging people's life and making their later life more comfortable.
As the saying goes, people are old from their teeth first, more is lost, and few remain. This special activity popularized the knowledge of dental disease prevention and treatment, enhanced the public's oral health concept and self-care awareness, and helped to establish a good oral health behavior, which was unanimously praised by the audience.
