İzmir Chamber of Dentists (İZDO) carried out oral and dental health screenings for Kaklıç Primary and Secondary School students with the contributions of Çiğli Municipality.
Dentists, who came together with the students and gave information about oral and dental health, also took care of the students one by one and made dental scans.
Melis Daraoğlu Gürel, Member of the Board of the Izmir Chamber of Dentists, who gave information about the studies, said, “As İZDO, we carried out oral and dental health screenings for our children, who are the adults of the future. What is teeth to them? How does bruise occur? How about a healthy diet? We gave detailed information by asking different questions such as how to brush the teeth.
ANSWER CHILDREN'S QUESTIONS
Melis Daraoğlu Gürel, who also answered the questions of the students in her presentation, continued as follows: “Caries can be seen on the front teeth of children who use feeding bottles and pacifiers for a long time. When children run and play, their teeth can be broken by hitting their mouths or the tooth can come out with its root. If it is a small fracture, it needs to be intervened with filling. However, if the tooth is completely dislodged, it should be put in a glass of milk and a dentist should be consulted as soon as possible. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day is another important issue. In addition, the use of dental floss is important in terms of cleaning the areas that the toothbrush cannot reach. Apart from these, sharp pens, toothpicks and similar things should never be inserted into the mouth to remove the food left between the teeth.
