Undaunted, Salvador, four years old, is the first to climb to the dentist's chair. Very earnest in his role as medical pretending, Jessica, a year younger, puts the mask on the mouth and listens carefully to the directions of the doctor seriously. With the mirror disposable hand in the girl's mouth Salvador notes to see if it's okay with your teeth. Jessica and Salvador are two of about fifty children from Kindergarten Conde Sobral in Almeirim, who visited the facilities of Clinicalm.
The purpose of that kind of hits that Clinicalm started about two years is alert children to the importance of brushing teeth and going to the dentist regularly. There are still children who are not encouraged to take oral hygiene habits and so we decided to help, explains Maria Pinto Correia, clinical director and manager.
For most children who was first contacted with a dentist. Maria Pinto Correia says it's important they realize how a query to lose the fears that may be associated with this medical specialty.
The medical dentist says that parents take their children to the dentist rather late. Usually after having already born the permanent teeth. The first consultation should occur at the birth of the first baby teeth. Failure to come to the dentist affect the dentition in the future, he adds.
During the visit the children was possible to detect some decayed teeth. The physician advises that children wash teeth at least twice daily and visit the doctor twice a year. Once you begin to be born the first baby teeth should be washed even if with a cloth or compress. When you start eating sweets is very important to wash your teeth frequently stresses.
The training began with the viewing of an animated film where the doctor Dentolas explains the importance of having healthy teeth. At the end the children received a gift toothpaste and a pamphlet which explains the care of the teeth.
While defending that prevention remains the best strategy for good oral health, the dentist regrets that medical patients to doctors only recourse when problems are already active. The Clinicalm has a team of five dentists, two gynecologists, a psychologist, a nutritionist, a speech therapist and two assistants.
