英伦广角 英国儿童患蛀牙超过30%

 

For generations a battle waged in bathrooms to get them to brush their teeth. Here two brothers with two sets of impressive Nashas, no surprise with TV camera rolling, that technique is textbook. So we put them to the test. So you think you've done a good job. But let's use one of these tablets which will show us who is not exactly how well you really have done. Are you ready? After 3. 1, 2, 3. Crunch² up and swallow. So let's take a look. Pretty good, although here, this red area shows where you haven't got rid of all the plaque³. But all in all, not bad. Everyone does the best they can to brush their teeth as much as we can get them to brush their teeth. But there always can be bits they miss. It's a guess. The education of the children to make sure they know what they suppose to do and the implications if they don't. But across the country a rather different and worrying picture of oral health is emerging. 14,000 children aged¹ 5 and under needed to have teeth removed in 2014-2015. And 19,000 children aged between 6 and 10 underwent the same procedure during this period. And that all adds up to a 10% increase over the last 4 years and the number of children having teeth removed in hospital.

There are particular black spots especially well levels of deprivation⁴ are higher like South Yorkshire and this Sheffield dentist trains colleagues in Africa. But he says levels of decay are as bad back here. Running emergency services here in an in-and-out hours, we see more and more young children coming in with more and more decay. And no matter what this service is thrown at it, it doesn't seem to make much effect*.

One problem is parents not taking their kids for regular check-ups, but is also the changes in our diet.

The government should introduce a sugar text to try to reduce the amount of sugar that is consuming in this country to try to help this problem.

The Department of Health says children's teeth are dramatically healthier than 10 years ago. And that changing the NHS, so dentist get reward for keeping teeth healthy rather than just treating problems as they arise.
