Chandigarh 11th July:- FIJEEHA
(Forum for Indian Journalists On Education, Environment,
Health & Agriculture) in association with Clove Dental organised
a workshop for media personnel today at Chandigarh Press Club, Chandigarh.
Around 40 journalist participated in the workshop. The workshop was aimed to
impart the healthy tips on Oral Care to media fraternity.
Doctors
from Clove Dental stressed that prevention in terms of good oral hygiene and
regular dental check-ups is a must, as visiting a dentist under emergent
situation is only like band-aid on the immediate problem but does not provide
any long-term solution to poor dental health. Most common unhealthy oral habits
include thumb and finger sucking, tongue thrusting, and teeth grinding which
are widely seen in children of 3-6 years of age which affects the child’s
permanent or adult teeth.
Dr
Pankaj Kaushik, Zonal Clinical Head, Chandigarh said that it is necessary that
parents only use positive connotations attached to dental visits. Terms like
drilling, painful, needles should be avoided as it creates a stressful
experience for the child which leads to neglect of dental health. In fact, at
Clove Dental, technology has enabled us to use latest pain-management
techniques to eliminate additional pain.
Doctors form
India's leading dental care chain also informed on several ways to avoid
cavities like reducing transmission of infection from parent to child through
pacifiers or spoons, ensuring adequate supply of fluoride, avoiding intake of
tit-bit snacks and regular dental check-ups.
Dr Navneet
Anand, former journalist and President of this informal group of journalists
having membership from 18 states said that FIJEEHA is a development
communication platform and conducts regular dialogues on key issues in areas of
health, environment, agriculture and education.
