Free pit and fissure sealing for 70 thousand children in Ji'nan
Lu network October 11th news (reporter Wang Wenting) reporter today from the Ji'nan Municipal Health Planning Commission learned that Ji'nan more than 70 thousand children of age will enjoy free oral health inspection and oral hygiene knowledge, children's free pit and ditch closed caries prevention Now 100% full coverage.
the most effective method of preventing dental caries is the first tooth pit and ditch closed
7 years old bean bean is a lovely little girl. Last month, she was led down to the hospital to prevent dental caries. She became the first beneficiary of the formal implementation of the free pit and fissure prevention project. Although I do not know what the concept of pit and ditch closure is, the doctor's words have made a deep impression on the little sugar bean beans: "the possibility of eating a few lumps of sugar in the future will reduce the possibility of the tooth."
what is the concept of pit and fissure sealant against caries? Shao Linqin, director of the Prevention Department of Ji'nan oral hospital, told reporters that pit and ditch closure technology is a simple and economical method of prevention and treatment recommended by the WHO and the National Health Planning Commission. "Teeth pit and fissure sealant has a good effect in preventing caries. It can achieve less cost, more work, less pain and lower incidence of dental caries."
according to statistics, the incidence of dental caries in Ji'nan children is relatively high, and the caries rate is 6 in the age group from 10 to 10. In 2013, Ji'nan successfully carried out a pilot project in central district. More than 7000 primary school students in grade two accepted dental fossa fossa closure free of charge. In 2014, the free dental caries prevention project was carried out for free dental pit and ditch closure in Ji'nan, and more than 70000 children in Ji'nan would receive the "six age tooth" fissure sealing.
"six age teeth" tooth decay rate is the most important
"six age teeth" usually erupted around 6 years of age. It is the highest caries rate. It is also the key tooth of children's dentition. Because the "six age teeth" erupted when the milk teeth have not fallen off, it is easy to be mistaken for the parents to be mistaken for the milk teeth and not to pay attention, plus the growth in the most inside of the mouth, many children brush their teeth when they do not notice. Once the "six instar teeth" decay, it will not only cause pain, but also affect appetite, chewing and digestive function, which will adversely affect the growth and development of children. Shao Linqin, director of Stomatology Prevention Department of Ji'nan stomatological hospital, said that at present, the best way to prevent dental caries of "six age teeth" is pit and fissure sealant.
it is understood that the free teeth pit and fissure sealant prevention project for school-age children in Ji'nan is the pit and fissure sealant for four "six age teeth" of school-age children. The indication is that the first permanent molars (commonly called "six instar teeth") are completely erupted in the children's mouth, and the pit and fissure are deeper or caries prone. Dental caries or already filled teeth have not been completely sprouted, and no deep pit and fissure gaps on the occlusal surface are suitable for pit and fissure sealant. Because the teeth have not completely erupted temporarily can not carry out the pit and fissure sealant children, can be regularly reviewed, to be completely free after the eruption.
"in the future, we will carry out the dental nest and ditch closure intervention program for two grade children in Ji'nan primary school free of charge in the future. The rate of oral health examination for children is 100%. It meets the conditions of closed nest and groove closure, and the suitable and voluntary acceptance of the closed cover rate of children's teeth pit and ditch is 100%, the closure rate is over 90%, and the children are reduced. The prevalence of dental caries, oral health care knowledge and correct tooth brushing were more than 95%, the knowledge rate of oral health knowledge was over 90%, and the correct tooth brushing rate was over 80%. The establishment of information network platform and electronic files of Ji'nan children's free dental pit and fissure sealing project was 100. %. " Gao Ping, deputy secretary of the Party committee of the Ji'nan Municipal Committee of health planning, said.
