Dentists have proposed to the Portuguese Minister of Health to establish an ''dental family" to be given to children like the doctor, a proposal that so far has not been accepted, reports as saying.
The proposal was made by two representatives of the Dental Association to join the group analysis of the oral health program, said Paulo Rompante, one of the physicians. The idea is to place a child, when born, a dentist who works as a kind of family doctor for oral health, but without integrating professionals in the health centers. "We are not proposing dentists to health centers. The proposal is for a system of convention", explained Paulo Rompante.
The program of oral health promotion in schools, the doctor points out some flaws and calls for a reorganization of this project, criticisms are accompanied by other clinicians and by the president of the Dental Association. The basic and essential step of this program is to promote the daily brushing at school, which is not being done in most institutions.
"As the program was designed only entitled to access to the other stages of the program, schools that promoted daily brushing. No program works if the brushing is not promoted", commented the expert. The argument advanced by some schools that are unable to promote oral health can not be accepted among dentists.
