As with every health problem, it is necessary to carry out preventive studies within the scope of estimates before the possible risks and dangers occur. It is also very important in terms of resource consumption while preventing possible diseases to be experienced with preventive protective practices.
Preventive dentistry is also an area of critical importance in this sense. Oral hygiene education, caries risk testing, necessary treatments and routine controls are among the practices that both children and adults should perform within the scope of preventive dentistry.
Oral and dental health is the main point of preventive dentistry. Oral health care can vary according to the diet of the person, but it should be done at least twice a day. Appropriate materials should be used while performing oral care. Materials such as brushes, dental floss, mouthwash should be chosen individually. It can be easier to get positive results, especially with the regular oral care habit that should be taught to children. Children should be trained so that the selected materials can be used correctly, such as the right movement and the appropriate pressure power. Childhood education is of critical importance in order to establish habits. This awareness process in children is an educational process that should proceed simultaneously with parents and dentists. Of course, habits that were not acquired as a child can also be acquired at later ages. The dentist's highly applicable solution proposals can make the process practical.
There are many applications within the scope of preventive dentistry. The simultaneous implementation of these applications facilitates the achievement of results.
Preventive Practices
Considering that every food that enters the body is first taken into the mouth, the effect of nutritional habits on oral health is an unbelievable fact.
Regular nutrition and dental cleaning habits (such as brushing, flossing) are the cornerstones of preventive practices. In addition to these, detection and prevention of bad habits (such as smoking, alcohol) are also included in preventive dentistry practices. With these applications, fluorine, fissure sealant and placeholder applications strengthen the possibility of eliminating possible risks. Tooth loss can be experienced with adequate oral care, as well as tooth loss due to trauma and blows. It is also necessary to provide protection from trauma and impacts.
Receiving service from health institutions equipped with expert staff and advanced technological devices, where all these applications are carried out, is one of the important factors that facilitate the rapid and reliable progress of the process.
We become stronger by preventing possible risks and dangers with preventive dentistry practices.
