For 11 consecutive years, the dental hospital attached to fujian medical university has been carrying out oral health initiatives for orphaned and disabled children
On the occasion of the 35th national day of assistance to persons with disabilities, on 14 may, the south-east network (web reporter feng kawa yap) organized oral medicine teams at the university of medicine, fujian, with a public benefit project entitled “integrated management of oral illness among orphaned and disabled children in fujian province”. For the eleventh consecutive year, it entered the fukuya city school of child welfare, the fuzhou city school of blind education, and the fukushima city school of mental education to provide a one-stop service for orphaned and disabled children, such as oral health screening, disease prevention and treatment, and oral education。
Accurate service to protect the "special" smile
As part of the campaign, over 40 export cavity specialists and nursing staff from the university of fujian medical sciences were sent to volunteer teams, carrying portable diagnostic equipment and mobile diagnostic vehicles, and tailoring personalized dental care services to three isolated and disabled schools and institutions in fukushima city. Medical personnel patiently appease the feelings of orphaned and disabled children, carefully complete a full oral examination, a risk assessment of the teeth, and undergo fluorine-painted and gutter-closed treatment for children of appropriate age. In the case of children who have contracted tooth decay, medical teams rely on state-of-the-art equipment in the hospital's treatment van to provide pain-free micropsychological treatment in the field to minimize the child's discomfort. A total of 280 children were painted with fluorine, 237 oral examinations, 54 cavities closed and 35 teeth filled, effectively blocking the further development of oral disease among orphaned and disabled children. “many children find it difficult to go out for physical reasons, and this time out-patient treatment really addresses their real needs. “the staff of the welfare institution says。
It's a good idea
"how can the little tooth guard beat the beast?" the medical team integrates professional dental care into cartoon animations and situational interactions and teaches children about the importance of a sugar-limit diet through fun questions, model presentations, etc. “these children are usually deprived of oral health awareness, health-care staff are lively and practical, and even our staff have learned a lot of nursing skills”, said the nursery teacher
Continue oral control, and build health barriers
A single treatment can only address immediate problems, and sustained prevention and treatment is necessary to protect the child's long-term oral health, which requires more long-term attention. For 11 consecutive years, the voluntary team at the oral hospital attached to fujian medical university has been conducting regular medical consultations to establish a health file for orphaned and disabled children, continuously following their oral health, developing long-acting support mechanisms and providing free green treatment for orphaned and disabled children. Hospitals continue to provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups on the basis of the concept of “caregivers”, a project that has benefited more than 3,500 orphaned and disabled children. The deputy director of the prevention section of the hospital, dr. Li wei, the head of the project, said that in the future, the disability support project would be further developed in such a way as to create a health barrier for specific groups, with a professional and warm environment, so that every smile would be able to flourish。
