As the saying goes, food is the first thing for the people, and teeth are the first. Children are in a critical period of growth and development, and the quality of teeth can directly affect children's physical and mental health. So we should try our best to protect our teeth from bacteria.
1989, jointly signed by the Ministry of Health and the Education Commission, designated September 20th of each year as national love teeth day.
On September 20 every year, all parts of the country will focus on one day to carry out a variety of colorful tooth-loving days. Every activity has a central slogan of Love Tooth Day. For example, the slogan of 1998 is oral health and social civilization, healthy teeth, and the slogan of 2002 is to prevent periodontal disease and maintain oral health. Through the activities of Love Teeth Day, social forces are widely mobilized to popularize the knowledge of dental disease prevention and treatment among the masses, enhance the concept of oral health and self-awareness of oral health care, establish oral health care behavior, and improve the oral health level of the whole nation.
There are many patients with dental caries and periodontal diseases in China, but the manpower, material resources and financial resources for oral health care are very limited. Therefore, the fundamental way to solve the dental problem lies in prevention.
Setting up tooth love day is an important measure to strengthen oral prevention and implement the policy of prevention first.
So, how should we love and protect our teeth? Tooth protection refers to protecting teeth. Caring for your teeth should start at an early age. Introduce five good dental care habits:
First, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, it is best to use a healthy toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste;
Second, regular oral examination;
Third, eat less desserts and sugary drinks;
Fourth, after eating or eating snacks, gargle or chew sugar-free gum;
Fifth, eat less sugar.
With the development of the country, the scale of Love Tooth Day has developed from September 20th to a week, a month or even a year, and there are more and more kinds of activities. Oral health care in the world has a long way to go, but a bright future. Let's unite and fight for all of us to have white, healthy and neat teeth.
