How Does Oral Health Impact Daily Life?
Oral and dental health are crucial aspects of overall well-being and should be well-maintained. Regular dental check-ups every six months help prevent oral health issues and detect potential diseases in a timely manner. Poor oral health can affect daily life in two major ways:
- Impact on Personality
Oral health problems can affect self-confidence, particularly in jobs that require frequent communication and negotiation with clients. Maintaining good dental hygiene boosts confidence and creates a positive first impression on others - Impact on Quality of Life
Access to dental care is a fundamental welfare service that everyone should receive. However, some populations face challenges in accessing these services due to financial constraints, living in remote areas, or a lack of knowledge about oral health care. These barriers can lead to social insecurity and limit job opportunities.
How to Maintain Oral and Dental Health
Proper oral care helps reduce dental problems. The following guidelines should be followed:
- Brush teeth at least twice a day for five minutes per session.
- Use fluoride toothpaste to prevent cavities.
- Children should use specially formulated toothpaste with lower fluoride content than adult toothpaste.
- Avoid toothpaste with high levels of abrasives, as they may damage enamel.
- For sensitive teeth, opt for toothpaste containing potassium nitrate.
- If any issues arise after using toothpaste, consult a dentist for appropriate advice.
CSR and Oral Health Care
CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) involves conducting social initiatives without seeking profit. Many organizations are now prioritizing CSR activities related to dental and oral health. For example, offering mobile dental services to employees helps remove barriers to accessing dental care, such as cost, travel, and lack of awareness.
Steps for Conducting CSR Activities with AT U Dental’s Mobile Dental Services
CSR activities can be conducted to benefit all social groups without discrimination. Mobile dental services are an excellent option for companies or organizations looking to engage in CSR while enhancing their corporate image. AT U Dental provides mobile dental service rentals for oral health check-ups in various communities, including corporate employees, students, and residents in remote areas who lack access to basic dental care. Our mobile dental service ensures convenience for companies and organizations, following these steps:
- Step 1 – Coordination with Provincial Public Health Authorities AT U Dental contacts the provincial public health authorities in the intended service area to verify standards, quality, and safety measures of the mobile dental unit and its equipment.
- Step 2 – Public Relations and Awareness Campaign AT U Dental prepares and distributes promotional materials to inform the public about the availability of dental services, including schedules and locations.
- Step 3 – Registration for Dental Services Individuals seeking dental care need to present their national identification card at the registration point for verification before receiving services.
- Step 4 – Dental Service Procedures Our dental services are provided by certified dentists and dental assistants. The process begins with a thorough oral health examination, followed by a detailed explanation of each individual's dental condition. Necessary procedures such as scaling and fillings are then performed.
- Step 5 – Post-Service Evaluation After receiving dental care, patients are given a satisfaction survey to assess the quality of services and provide feedback for future improvements.
