Like A Preach

Minggu hati saya bergembira..(bukan selalu).

Hari ini, alhamdulillah habis saya 'kerjakan' budak form 4. Suprise! Kita buat cabutan. Tak banyak masalah dengan budak sekolah as long as kena cara, diorang ikut sahaja. Sambil preaching itu ini~ kakak lah katakan. Gigi Sepanjang Hayat. How much of us appreciate teeth until they gone? Sadly to say, most of us took for granted the God's gift.

'Jangan ingat gigi palsu adalah jalan penyelesaiannya' ujar pada mereka

Sebenarnya, saya pun jenis yang malas jaga gigi waktu sekolah. Malam sebelum tidur selalu skip toothbrushing tapi habit saya berkumur dan less frequent contact dengan cariogenic foods/beverages dan suka air suam. Penyebab karies gigi bukanlah 100% pada banyak mana kita makan makanan manis/carb tetapi berkait dengan frekuensi/kekerapan gigi kita terdedah pada makanan tersebut. Makin kerap, makin banyak asid pada gigi dan makin senanglah bakteria membuat kaviti pada gigi.

'Gigi ada kaviti tak doktor?' (cilok iklan Colgate).
Tiba-tiba terbayang, alahai comelnya kalau anak saya yang bertanya..haha.

Flouride melindungi gigi anda, pastikan ubat gigi ada flouride (1000 ppm-part permillion) bahkan air yang seharian kita guna pun ada flouride. Since govt sediakan flouride feeder at each state.

Amalkan dental check up sekurang-kurangnya 6 bulan sekali. Tolonglah...ni selalu datang bila gigi dah sakit, bengkak dan sebagainya. Memanglah waktu tuh, doktor gigi buat apa-apa pun sakit. Lepas tuh salahkan doktor sebab traumatized dengan experiences sebegitu. Sekarang, cuba lihat salah siapa? Of course, diri anda sendiri. Dan saya pernah encounter satu scenario yang pathetic.

Case I

Parent came to clinic brought their 3 y/o child whom having toothache for past 3 days. As I took all information and was going to examine intraorally, I found remnants of sweets inside her oral cavity. Quite shocked. But who to blame?

Instead of helping in prevention, they totally ruined their child's oral health. Gheez. Sigh. OMG, at 3 y/o supposedly all deciduous teeth already fully erupted(tumbuh) which had to be maintain in good condition until they shed (gugur) voluntarily. By the age of 6, the permanent started to erupt.As a result while treating her, she threw a tantrum. Cried madly, but this is how I 'teach' the parent of what they had done. Enough making your child sick again!

~Haih, mengajar pulak saya hari ni ye. InsyaAllah, ilmu untuk dikongsi. Makin diberi, makin banyak diterima. Esok.....bye-bye Sarawak.
