The dental injuries are increasing as the number of children to sports, said the professor of Dental Medicine Jose Frias Bulhosa. "The children practise sport ever earlier, which has caused an increase in the number of dental injuries, facial and cranial", stressed the faculty of the University Fernando Pessoa (UFP), in Porto.
Jose Bulhosa stressed that the care of their teeth has been associated only with the use of brushes and toothpaste and reducing the consumption of sugars, but "is much more than that." "An accident can have consequences in oral health for the rest of life", warned the expert, noting that the UFP is take actions to preventive dental schools to train teachers of Physical Education, recommending that avoid exercises that put at risk the teeth.
The UFP concluded this week a protocol with the Board of Maia for the conduct of surveys and actions for prevention of dental disease in eight schools of the county. Jose Bulhosa said that these actions will be developed in two mobile units by about 80 students of the third and sixth years of the course of Dental Medicine of UFP, under the guidance of their teachers.
The units consist of two mobile vans equipped as dental clinics, which Joseph Bulhosa, have no parallel in Portugal, given its "exceptional conditions" for the practice of dentistry. In addition to Jones, the two vans have been involved in actions of preventive dentistry in Porto, Vila do Conde, Ponte de Lima and Braga, and also scheduled for the coming months to travel Baião and Amarante.
