Built in 2002, the Clinic of Dentistry Dr. Daniel Azevedo (Qt. St Iria Lt. 6-Lj 1 Vila Real 5000-722 VILA REAL Phone.: 259327004) has been growing, with new expertise and contributing to improving the quality of care provided in the municipality of Vila Real. Inform the younger population on prevention in oral health is increasingly important.
Aware of this reality, Daniel Azevedo is developing a project together with local authorities, which relates to screening in schools and at the same time, motivate the children to the importance of prevention. "Initially this project will be done only with the schools of Vila Real, and later be extended to the whole county."
According to our interviewee, in the last ten to 15 years dentistry has undergone many changes, particularly in terms of materials. "The materials are becoming more advanced, giving greater security to doctors, for it can be solved more quickly and quality problems of users. This is very important for people to stop being afraid of going to the dentist, "waging a daily struggle to combat the phobia of visiting your dentist and slowly we have achieved great results at this level, which is very important, especially if given that ten percent of the world population is totally toothless. Our trip to the schools will also contribute greatly to the children stop being afraid of going to the dentist, then they will themselves encourage parents to take better care of their dental hygiene, because oddly enough, many Portuguese still do not know What is a toothbrush. "
In oral health, the most frequent problems in terms of prosthesis fixation. Although at first glance this seems very simple, turns out to be complex, because users who have this problem end up not getting a nice relationship with others, become more depressed and isolate themselves from society. "We wanted enough to solve such problems. Today is starting to be a change of mentalities and the implants are becoming increasingly in demand."
Contrary to popular belief, sometimes it is easier to rehabilitate a patient who had an implant than one that has an extraction, "which got three to four hours the user get out of here with my teeth fixed and ready to chew," it said . On the other hand, Daniel Azevedo advice to parents of children that they should begin to brush their teeth since very young, and to consult your dentist in order to familiarize them with doctors and with their own dentists. "By maintaining a daily dental hygiene from an early age can avoid more serious problems in the future."
The Clinic has established protocols with the Medis, with Caixa Geral de Depósitos, with the SAMS Quadros and with Visavital. The latter protocol was established about a year and, according to our interviewee, is having very positive results, "because it is an insurance policy that greatly reduces the cost of any dental treatment."
The cost of dental care continues to be one of the factors that most people away from doctors. "It's difficult for us to work around this problem, because the cost of the materials are very high due to its quality, as someone who values the quality has to use better materials and of course this increases the cost to the customer. So it is that we try to present several solutions, such as financing and insurance with which we work."
Daniel Azevedo admits he tried to establish protocols with other institutions, which was not possible because they have sufficient providers in the region. "We face an increasing demand for some health subsystems. I believe that the needs of these people are not being taken into account. On the other hand, is an injustice to the young professionals who come into the market with more timely and concepts which can not provide a response to being denied the convention, which ends up determining some treatments.
The investment in space, materials and equipment required a major financial undertaking. The Clinic has acquired all the equipment necessary to develop the best possible job. "Today, we are aiming primarily at the level of material we put into the mouth of users, because that is what gives us more immediate results. In terms of equipment, the differences are many brand to brand. I think that always accompany the technological developments and the moment there is nothing on the market to justify the purchase of new equipment. My dream, since I created the clinic, was to end with the drill, but it is not yet possible. There is a laser treatment that replaces the drill, but only in very specific and does not justify spending a copious enough money in equipment to treat an estimated one percent of situations."
The future should be always at the forefront in terms of technological developments. Daniel Azevedo also states that in the months of October or November, along with other professionals in the country, will steer a course in dentistry in the area of implant. This course will be held at the clinic and is intended for all practitioners who want to start in implantology.
