下週是牙齒健康週(8月6日-12日),澳大利亞牙科修复協會(Australian Dental Prosthetists Association, ADPA)提醒澳洲人,在此期間可以登錄預約免費的牙科檢查。

ADPA的數據顯示,全澳1/4的成人有蛀牙,但約85%的人郤害怕看牙醫,有近一半的人躲避年度的牙科檢查。

因此,ADPA再次提醒人們患有蛀牙郤不及時就醫的風險。如果有了蛀牙郤一再拖延看牙醫,可能隨著牙齒腐爛導致進一步的脫落,這時候就需要更麻煩的手段來治療了,比如安裝假牙等。

此外,對於那些戴假牙的人來說,每年必鬚去看他們的牙科修复師進行調整,否則可能會出現頭痛、頸部疼痛、骨質流失和牙齦髮炎等情況。

趁著牙齒健康週,趕緊去預約一個吧!
