The fear that it would cost too much has been one of the most common factors preventing individuals from taking better care of their teeth. At least this is the belief of Community Dental Therapist, Ms Holly Adridge.Her enlightening comment was forthcoming on Thursday when the dental team at the Grove Health Centre engaged activities to observe Oral Health month under the theme ‘Partnership: the best strategy for oral health’. Oral health month is observed in Guyana on an annual basis in the month of November.And due to individuals’ failure to visit the dentist an advocated twice a year, Adridge said that periodontal problems and dental caries are the recognised outcome,Discount NFL Jerseys, particularly among youths between the ages of 10 and 15. “I think the problem is caused in children because they are using a lot of sweet and then they are not brushing properly and at the right time. My advice is for them to brush after every meal and in the proper way,” Adridge noted.And then there are the adults that also have similar problems. Of great concern, Adridge said is the fact that many pregnant women also suffer avoidable dental problems and opt to cast the blame entirely on their pregnancy.For this reason, yesterday’s activity was centred mainly on educating antenatal mothers about the importance of caring their mouth as well as that of their babies.According to Dentex, Fay Duncan, through informative talks, the dental team is geared to prepare the mothers who visited the health centre to have the upper hand in preventing dental diseases. “Mouth is our business here and patients need to understand that not just their bodies they have to take care of but their mouths as well.” As such, those attending the antenatal clinic on Thursday were told of the proper way to brush their teeth, how to use toothpaste and were informed of the most appropriate diet they should use to help keep their teeth in a healthy state.Before 09:00 hours Thursday more than 20 mothers along with their children had their mouths examined and cleaned.
