Good oral health of our teeth and is a major essential conditions to have good health throughout our lives. Unfortunately, many opportunistic diseases are emerging without us realizing it and then later will bring very serious health problems.
Having all your teeth healthy and clean is always a mouth so that not arise after other diseases. Therefore, it is often very important to note the status of all your teeth, if you notice any stains or any other problem with a tooth, immediately inform your parents and your family doctor.
Whatever problem you have with any tooth must be treated immediately, because the teeth are part of our body and also need to be careful because they will live with us throughout our life.
Have you ever felt any pain? Well, if one day you lose a tooth, you can start having a pain that will be permanent and will last for the rest of your life. There will be a physical pain as normal, but a psychological pain, very difficult to cure or even without any treatment; lose a tooth for the rest of life can have disastrous consequences for us and that will never be repaired.
Who has lost a tooth is constantly asking yourself what the reason was because of losing a tooth; in addition, the lack of a tooth in our mouth can soon bring other very serious health problems, many of them not visible such as spending.
In Portugal also, to give the necessary importance to oral health care. The Ministry of Health have almost no interest in the subject because it invents the false excuse that it is very expensive to put dentists in health centers to treat people. The Ministry of Education is sloppy and does screenings in schools to all children and young people to identify those in need of treatment of teeth. The dentists need someone to pay the costs that have to do with the treatments they need to do to all people. And not just view your friends with the right to all who need treatment and you being barred from the same treatments you have.
So, as in many other things of our everyday life, we must ourselves to fighting for what we need. You gotta be yourself to be brave and demand from all (parents, school, family doctor) that address any problem you find in your teeth, you alone you got the problem and only you is that you suffer with the problem. So do not be complicit with never any problem with your teeth and looking for help that you can handle - will not be easy but never give up and do not stop fighting for what is your right: access to oral health care. When you're an adult you will be rewarded by better health and you'll be much happier.
And never miss the daily wash your teeth and use dental floss daily too, will be rewarded by better health and live many more years.

Pass along this message to the young; since it's so unfortunate disdain expressed by official institutions, including the ministries of Education and Health to assume its responsibilities for overall oral health of children and youth in the country, we will inform them of this situation to which they gain awareness of the enormous atrocities currently in Portugal on equal access to health care, including access to care and treatment of oral health in childhood and adolescence.
