The High Caries in Children

Assalamualaikum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh
Good morning ladies and gentlemen
The Honorable Mr. Ajar Sagobi, the teacher of English subject
And dear all beloved of my friends
Oral and dental health has increased over the last century but the prevalence of dental caries in children has
remained a significant clinical problem. Dental caries i s decay of the teeth or hol es in the teeth. It i s
one of the most common diseases which affect humans especially children. There is a survey said that
the prevalence of dental caries in preschool children in Jakarta is 89.16%. It shows that the decay occurred
without handler. Though child's dental health will ultimately determine the health of permanent teeth.
Indeed caries can be prevented early on the children. In this occusion i would like to discuss about how
to prevent caries in the children.
First, Children consume food that contain sugar. Eating habits in children greatly influence on
children's teeth. Consumption of food and beverages containing sugar between meal s and at
eating i s associated with i ncreased of caries. Bacteria thrive on sugar and an acidic environment
- the more sugar thay have, the more acid i s formed, and the more the bacteria thrive and
multiply.
The second is oral hygiene. Oral hygiene is also very important in the prevention of caries. Brushing teeth is
an easy way to maintain oral hygiene. Brushing teeth should be taught to children at any age. Children under 5
years of age can not brush their teeth individually, so the parents should help them to brush their teeth at
least until the children is 6 years old.
The last is dental health education. Education for parents to care oral health of children needs to be improved.
It starts by introducing the correct way to brush their teeth, when the right time to brush teeth, how to care
for tools for dental care, regular visits to the dentist every 6 months. When parents give dental health
education to children, it should like motivating their children to clean their teeth and avoid the word of
"threat" like "If you dont brush your teeth and then your teeth will be extraction in the later". This makes
children afraid of the dentist because they think that dentist will do an act that hurts.
Ladies and gentleman
That are description that I can say on this occasion, I hope from now caries wi ll be decreased
and it can achieve healthy teeth for Indonesian chil dren. Thank you for attention.
