下周是牙齿健康周(8月6日-12日),澳大利亚牙科修复协会(Australian Dental Prosthetists Association, ADPA)提醒澳洲人,在此期间可以登录预约免费的牙科检查。

ADPA的数据显示,全澳1/4的成人有蛀牙,但约85%的人却害怕看牙医,有近一半的人躲避年度的牙科检查。

因此,ADPA再次提醒人们患有蛀牙却不及时就医的风险。如果有了蛀牙却一再拖延看牙医,可能随着牙齿腐烂导致进一步的脱落,这时候就需要更麻烦的手段来治疗了,比如安装假牙等。

此外,对于那些戴假牙的人来说,每年必须去看他们的牙科修复师进行调整,否则可能会出现头痛、颈部疼痛、骨质流失和牙龈发炎等情况。

趁着牙齿健康周,赶紧去预约一个吧!
