From the age of 6, the permanent teeth erupted continuously, and the deciduous teeth fell off in turn, forming a mixed dentition stage of deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. Until 15 years old, all permanent teeth erupted. This is the most active and critical stage in a person's life. It is also an important period for the development of children's jaws and dental arches, and it is also the main period for the formation and function improvement of oral and maxillofacial regions. This stage is also the peak of dental caries and gingivitis. Moreover, this period is the main period of children's brain development and personality formation, and the beauty and ugliness of facial images often affect children's personality and mental health growth. Psychologist Freud once said: "Childhood is an important stage of life, and early mental health is very important for a person's future development." Therefore, parents and children should be publicized through various publicity channels to let them know the basic knowledge of oral health care, and through the cooperation of doctors, patients and parents, we should jointly do a good job in children's oral health care and early prevention and treatment of tooth deformity.
Characteristics of dental diseases in children:
1, gingivitis is mainly caused by unclean mouth. As long as you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth carefully, you can solve the problem of oral hygiene.
2. The incidence of dental caries is high, with early onset, wide range, high speed and unconscious symptoms. Dental caries are mainly concentrated on one side of the three teeth, that is, the occlusal surface of the first and second deciduous molars and the first permanent molars. This has two guiding significance in the prevention strategy: first, it is most beneficial to prevent caries early before the peak age of caries; The second is to highlight the key points and grasp the three teeth, which can basically solve the caries problem of young children.
3. Any factors that are not conducive to the normal development of the whole body and oral cavity may lead to abnormal development, eruption, arrangement and occlusion of teeth, abnormal development of jaws and faces, and affect the aesthetic image of individual faces, with very serious consequences.
4. There is an increasing trend of dental trauma in children.
In order to improve children's oral health care level, the following work should be done:
1. Children who are learning oral health care knowledge are in an important period of long body and long knowledge. They take the initiative to read some popular science books about oral health care, improve their understanding and cultivate their oral health care ability.
2, regular oral health examination, at least 1 times a year. Find problems early, even if they are dealt with. Treat sick deciduous teeth correctly, never ignore them, and give them appropriate treatment under the guidance of dentists; Don't mistake the 6-year-old first permanent molars for deciduous molars, and don't treat them in time if they are sick. We should pay attention to the malocclusion caused by malocclusion, embedded teeth, tooth replacement obstacles and bad habits, and find and treat it as soon as possible.
3. Learn the correct method of brushing your teeth. Choose a healthy toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals, and develop good oral hygiene habits from an early age.
4. The pit and fissure sealant was applied to the first permanent molar at the age of 6 and to the second permanent molar at the age of 12. Under the guidance of the dentist, choose the appropriate fluoride prevention method.
5. Eat a reasonable diet, eat less sugary snacks and fine cakes that are easy to paste your teeth, or brush your teeth and rinse your mouth immediately after meals, especially after brushing your teeth before going to bed.
6. Early prevention of dentofacial deformities, timely treatment of early deformities, blocking their development, or early control to guide the benign development of dentofacial to ensure the healthy development of children's oral and maxillofacial and physical and mental health.
7. After the complete dislocation of teeth, physiological saline is considered as a good and easily available preservation solution, and other liquids such as blood, tissue culture solution, milk and saliva can also be used as preservation solutions. The storage time under the condition of saliva should not exceed 2 hours.
