Dental Nurse and Infection Risk

In a room that is not so great with crude equipment, Son almost every day treating patients who come into place with dental problems. The 30-year-old man claimed to be an expert on the teeth. He has to his profession since 2004 and set up practice in East Jakarta.Son said, skills that he acquired while attending courses taught by a tekniker teeth in 2001 set in Mojokerto. Tekniker, he said, is a fellow of the dentists who used to make dentures, and all things related to dental health.Patients were treated Son countless number. But of all patients who came, many parents are already quite advanced age. They usually come to be made dentures. "Yes, it's most often grandparents are coming," he added.Son is quite aware that the work he is doing is not without health risks. In dealing with each patient, he admitted that he has always done very carefully. According to Son, there are some things that can not be handled by experts among the teeth, fillings, tooth extraction, and memberisihkan tartar. Even to put the dentures, the son admitted that not just put it up."When you put up false teeth also look at the condition of dental patients. Problem, the dentist did not act recklessly, because the basics are there," he explained.
For many years in the profession, Son claimed there never was a problem with pelangannya. "Thank God all this time no one complains," added the man of this child.
When asked about the license to practice tooth has lived, Son said that his office had received permission from ASTAGIRI (Asossiasi Artisan Dental Self). According son once a month, usually dental experts often hold meetings. One of the content of the meeting was the agreement, dental experts advised not to revoke, and patches.
Then, what about the mounting brackets or braces? Does a dentist may perform installation of braces? Son himself until recently claimed to have never done. He reasoned that if fitting stirrup is the duty of a dentist and authority.
In different places, Revelation who also works as an expert even admitted telh dental braces used to install. Patients who come in also varied, ranging from just a fad until that is in trouble with his teeth.The usual rate charged for the installation stirrup Revelation varies from USD 1.5 to USD 2.5 million. Especially for upper teeth only, Revelation fix the price of Rp 800 thousand. Price is certainly much cheaper than someone to dental specialists.
Revelation claims, the principle does work with a dentist is not much different. Even he can guarantee that the teeth can be neat as long as a routine control. "Put stirrup, if the same doctor here at all. Result must be the same," he said.
But there's one thing that distinguishes the dentist and the dentist. "The difference is that in the physician, there must be teeth removed, if we do not," he added.
To control post-installation stirrup, Rev. usually ask the patient to come in at least once a month. For once it comes control, a patient will be charged Rp 50 thousand. As for the cost of cleaning the brackets, and replace the rubber off, the price is set relatively the same.
Merry, one dental expert service user said, if the cost of installation is much cheaper stirrup at the dentist than have to go to the doctor. He was not worried if something goes wrong with his teeth. "If you can find a cheaper better, why not?" he said.
It should be dealt with
In response to the rampant practice of dental worker, Chairman of Indonesian Dentists Association (PDGI) drg. Zaura Rini Matram demanding oversight and tougher action against the government dental professional handyman acting outside the bounds of authority.
The government has set limits artisan dental practice as part of health care by the Minister of Health No.. 339 of 1989 concerning the authority of handyman work gear.
In one of the articles says that builders teeth in his work is authorized in terms of making a removable denture karilik partial or full removable denture and install.
"Looking ahead, builders advocate PDGI teeth should be deleted and removed from society. Community must know, there are limits that should not be done handyman teeth," said Rini.
PDGI reasoned, dental handyman services that exist today are not based on an understanding and application of science and technology in dentistry.
"It took a long education, because we are working on a live network, relating to the health of the whole body," he explained.
Risk of infection
He added that the installation of braces that is currently emerging in doing handyman teeth also strongly opposed PDGI. If this is done by those who are not competent, then it could bring more severe side effects in patients.
Effects range from the mild infection of the gums to the deeper tissue that causes swelling in the bone. In addition, there is the risk of abnormal tissue growth, direction can result in malignancy.
Not only that, improper handling can result in other infectious diseases. For example, pregnant women can lead to premature birth and babies born with low birthweight.
'A tooth is very harmful to society, PDGI requested that this rule be implemented and enforced. For public health problem, PDGI not want to compromise, "he concluded.


Dental Upholstery Element

In addition to a plaque, tooth loss can also occur due to the lack of intake of fluoride, which can help your teeth become stronger. "I have never found a case where a single community in Borneo, suffered tooth loss," said Risqa. The study found, is due to the lack of intake of fluorine Dental Upholstery Element. "They drink from rain water, which does not contain fluoride," he explained.On the other hand, tooth loss in children, may also be due to hereditary factors. "A mother who has rotten teeth, that their child may also experience tooth loss," he said. Because the genes carried on the baby, it could be a gene that contains less minerals and calcium and cause calcium deficiency as well children. "Therefore, it is important for pregnant women to consume lots of calcium and minerals."The need for calcium and minerals, continued Risqa, is urgently needed to strengthen tooth enamel. "The need for this, could be satisfied by drinking water containing minerals, adequate nutrition - especially vitamin D, and brush your teeth with toothpaste that contains fluoride." Vitamin D is one of the main elements in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus.
So, try the kids are getting enough vitamin D (from sunlight in the morning) at least 10 mg per day. If these needs are not met, it could be your child will have problems on strengthening the tooth structure, caused by a disturbance in the mineralization of bone and tooth structure. So serajin any child brush his teeth and avoid sugary foods, he would experience tooth loss due to the lack of elements that can strengthen teeth.

Structural Damage Teeth

In structure, consisting of dental crowns, tooth root, and the neck of the teeth are covered by gums. "All parts of the oral cavity, if not properly maintained can easily be attacked by the disease," he explained. The occurrence of tooth loss, continued Risqa, a medicine called Inflammatory Gangraena dental pulp or pulpitis.
Kekeroposan This occurs due to damage to the tooth structure which affects the email (hard coating that protects teeth) and the outermost layer of the tooth, which continues to spread in a layer of dentin and pulp. In general, tooth loss can occur due to several reasons. "Heaps of food and less plaque calcium and mineral intake, can lead to tooth loss. Even in some people, tooth loss can also be caused by heredity, "he said again.Generally, tooth loss are caused by the presence of plaques that had not been cleaned. "Plaque is not cleared from the outer layer of the teeth, it will be a gathering place for microorganisms, wherein the microorganism will release substances that are acidic." Plaques caused by too many foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and foods containing gluten), such as bread, cereals , milk, soda, fruits, cakes, or candy are left on the teeth.
Bacteria that live in the mouth digest these foods, and turn it into acids . Bacteria, acid, food debris and saliva that converges on the plaque, will stick tightly to the teeth. Acid released by the plaque that, over time will erode the delicate lining emails on teeth and cause cavities, called Calvities or Caries. "Kekeroposan caused by acid that destroys the soft tissue (gingiva for example)."
Microorganisms - one Streptococcus Mutant - email tissue is destroyed, besides that these microorganisms also supports changes in plaque that are not cleared, over time can become tartar. "If this condition is left unchecked, then the damage will continue to spread to the dentin and pulp," he explained.
If the damage is on the dentin and pulp, especially when it is the nerve of the tooth causing tooth decay and death of the nerve in the tooth Gangraena or necrosis, "he explained. When the nerve of the tooth dies, the tooth will eventually fall apart bit by bit and cause the teeth to become brittle. "The death of nerve of the tooth, it also means the loss of function of teeth.

Do not Ostracize Dental and Oral Health


Oral health and dental care are often under-emphasized by people.

Feeling pain in the tooth is actually a sign of dentin hypersensitivity or tooth sensitivity.Hypersensitive dentin of the teeth is actually a problem that is not derived from dental disease, but because of the opening of dentin that lies beneath the tooth enamel so teeth become sensitive and vulnerable. Sensitivity can be caused by several things, such as brushing teeth abrasion or erosion which eroded tooth enamel."Dentin consists of tiny holes into the inside of the tooth that contains nerves. When the dentin is open, then stimulation of the dentin that can easily lead to a sharp sense of pain and for a moment," said Dr.How Kim Chuan, dental experts from Malaysia in Current Approaches press conference in Dental Care Sensitive held by GlaxoSmithKline in Jakarta some time ago.

Business School Dental Health Program


Health education is a process which is useful for creating a climate or condition which can affect an individual's health behavior. Through education expected a change in attitude and behavior of students that are tailored to educational purposes. For the emergence of attitudes and behavior that is expected is needed is a process of education. To achieve the goal of a process of education, necessary support facilities for a strategic approach. Strategy approach in accordance with the conditions of individuals and community groups, will accelerate the process of behavior change that. Behavior is the second largest factor after the environmental factors that affect the health of individuals, groups, or communities.

Health education is an attempt to influence, and or invite other people, whether individuals, groups, or communities, in order to implement healthy lifestyle behaviors, health arena is one of the factors that determine human development index (HDI). The expected behavior in health education is to support the healthy way of life, both as individuals and as human communities, the health education because they are very important to support any planned health program. But as we know that the implementation of this education, both in developed and developing countries experience a variety of obstacles in the achievement of goals, namely to achieve healthy behavior for the people. The greatest perceived barriers were the supporting factors, ie, which includes the availability of facilities and infrastructure or facilities for the dental health of the community itself, for example: water supply, waste disposal sites, the availability of nutritious food, and so on.


Dental and Oral Health

Oral health education is all the effort or activity that affects the people to behave well for the health and raise public awareness of oral health as well as providing understanding the ways to maintain healthy teeth and mouth. Oral health education is an important part of overall health education program. Oral health programs in effect are shown to the entire community which aims to improve the oral health of the community itself (DepKes. RI. 1982). As health programs in general, although good health program, when in its implementation without considering the participation of society in it, then the possibility of delays or even failure.

In terms of oral health, some experts said that the Ministry of Health often ignore oral health problems are. As one example, the program held at the health centers on the efforts optimal dental health is still not organized, as do counseling and oral health examination and routine maintenance for school children is still rare. All of this is the main program centers, but often overlooked that it becomes an obstacle in achieving the goal of eliminating or reducing oral health problems and heightens community awareness about the importance of oral health pemerliharaan.

Good programs that are oriented to the needs of society itself. But because most of Indonesian people only have this level of knowledge and the economy is still low, by itself the need for oral health still needs to be raised, so that they realize that oral health should be increased and this is one of the important needs in life . That way they can do themselves the right way in maintaining healthy teeth and mouth.

Business dental and oral disease prevention, especially aimed at school students, among others through a program of Business School of Dental Health (UKGS) in the delivery of fluoride to prevent or reduce dental caries or other dental diseases.

More details there are some prevention efforts that can be done through the School Dental Health Enterprises (UKGS), namely:

1. Gargle, mouthwash with fluoride solution

The goal is to get the enamel more resistant to acid attack. Acid is the end result of the remnants of food that contain carbohydrate. With the enamel more resistant to acid, it is hoped will not happen quickly cavities (caries).

2. Toothbrush

This activity is performed in a special place that has provided the school and should come equipped with a mirror, so they can see for themselves when they brush their teeth. How to brush your teeth well and correctly taught by a nurse on duty at the school site. To test whether the student / i have been given a clean brush your teeth with a solution of (disclosing solution) are colored red. If there are still many remnants of food / plaque layer that sticks will look much part of the tooth (email) are colored red. To the student / i who have not brushed his teeth with a clean brush is recommended to continue the activities of these teeth. By the way expected of each student / i have experience and training to know how long a person should brush your teeth really clean. Activities with this toothbrush can be done several times in one month.

3. Oral health education

In the student / i kindergarten and elementary school provided oral health education by using a handbook which can be obtained from the Dental Health Foundation Indonesia. These books have been arranged in order of its class is the book I for class I and VI and so on until the book comes with a book each work. Counseling provided by a dentist with the help of overhead projector, slides, pictures and teaching aids such as models of interest and other gear so it does not impress counseling boring, besides about dental health, also given counseling on how to maintain oral health will affect the health of your teeth. Cooperation with the principal so are necessary because the extension was carried out during the hours of school and should have been scheduled at the beginning of the school year. The goal of counseling is to enable students / i more aware of how it should maintain healthy teeth and mouth respectively. The participation of classroom teachers and principals of great significance in the success of the business activities of such extension.

Dental care and mouth are shown in obtaining the necessary treatment, especially treatment in relieving pain, and prevent tooth decay gets worse. We recommend that prior to treatment, the first examination was held to make the data from each student / i. At the beginning of each year teaching the initial examination to be made about the state of the status of the card teeth each also about the overall oral health. Based on these data, obtained an idea of ​​how the number of students / i who need fillings and extraction is given a letter to be signed by their parents as a sign of approval that the son / I was allowed to be treated at school.
