The dentist told her that he did not understand that the school dental service has not done or said anything when she was there last time. WHAT CAN WE DO? HOW CAN WE GET FOUND ON THERE REALLY IS 8 HOLES? IS the school dental service, which has not done its job well enough - or is it the other dentist, there are errors on it! WHAT DO WE DO?

Answer:

Dear Else

It is difficult to comment on your question without even having seen the pictures and records of the school dentist and now at the new dentist. 8 holes sounds very violent. Talk to the new dentist to have requisitioned records and X-ray of the school dental service, then you can look at it together.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen

Elderly do not know of home dental care scheme

Home dental care is offered to the elderly and severely disabled, who find it difficult even to report a dental visit. But several hundred elderly people in Aalborg Municipality miss the offer dental care at home because they do not know about the scheme, writes TV2/Nord.

Equipped with a small suitcase dentists dentist can solve most tasks at home, which protects the elderly and severely disabled patients to a troublesome trip out of the home. But according to Aalborg Municipality dentistry is a paucity of making use of the opportunity to get the dentist to give the teeth a check in their own homes.

"We suspect that we could have almost twice as many users in the system, if everyone who is eligible, took the offer," says dentist Birgit Krabsen from dentistry in Aalborg Municipality.

Care Centers can also avail of the scheme so that staff in care centers can concentrate on providing care, rather than having to devote time to accompany the residents individually to the dentist.

Children in Kalundborg has more holes than average

A local works councils within the municipal dental care warns against a spareforslag, which provides for the children first be convened dental examinations at age two, instead of as now one year old.

Every seventh child lives in a socially deprived home
Local Cooperation states that every seventh child in Kalundborg municipality comes from a socially deprived homes, and that this can be read on cariestallene writes Nordvestnyt. The staff at the municipal dental care in Kalundborg finds more holes in the teeth of local children and young people than average in the region.

Prevention is the way forward
The Committee notes that recent research shows that prevention is the way forward - and the sooner the better. And it is particularly important with early intervention when there are children from disadvantaged homes. Co believes that the negative trend in children's dental health will be enhanced if the tooth is exposed to the sight of one year.

Aarhus dismantles 70 percent of school dental clinics

The great shortage of dentists and the children improved dental health, will now Aarhus municipality to change the current structure of the dental field. School dental clinics is reduced by approx. 70 percent and dentists must gather in large clinics.

The city council of Aarhus municipality decided Wednesday night to bring together school dentists on 10-16 large clinics, rather than the current 43 smaller school clinics spread over the city's 49 elementary schools, Jyllands-Posten. At the schools in the future will be without dentist will instead be clinics with dental hygienists and dental assistants, who must provide preventive dental care.

The new structure of the dental field to be implemented over the next 10 years, and the reason is, besides that it's difficult to get dentists to the municipality that the children in Aarhus will have fewer and fewer holes.

The current structure dates back to the 1970s when a dentist only treated 400 children and adolescents, where they currently have to deal with around 1,500 children and adolescents. In the 1970s, had children and young people in Aarhus on average drilled in five teeth per year. Today, the average small 0.7 wells per year. The expectation is that in future only be needed for 30 dentists in municipal dental care in Aarhus.

The new developments in the dental field in Aarhus municipality is also a consequence of the increasing dental gap. And that trend is towards fewer and larger clinics where there are more dentists working in teams. Many young dentists prefer the fellowship they find on a clinic with several dentists.

Social Democrats and SF are skeptical about the structural changes
"We advocate the nomination, but we want an assurance that you place a part of future dental clinics, where they are needed. They should not be added after a spredekam, but where need is greatest, "said Steen B. Andersen (S), Jyllands-Posten. Steen was so worried about the new model that he also wanted an evaluation after the first year.

One of the biggest challenges in the new model of dental care field is the so-called socially disadvantaged groups who typically have more tooth decay than their peers. They must have a positive action in relation to which future large clinics should be located in the municipality.

Claus Thomas Mountain (SF), said to Jyllands-Posten that he is concerned that children in the future to spend time on transport to get to the dentist.

"Many parents have to take time off of work to get their children to the dentist. This may mean that they prefer dental treatment out until it fits with their work, "argued Thomas Claus Bjerg on.

SF suggested to soften up the change so that the larger units must be supplemented with four mobile dental units, which can run around to the clinics.

Gert Bjerregaard from the Liberal Party pointed out, like Social Democrat Steen B. Andersen, the clinics will be located in the areas of greatest need and that there also must be easily accessible by public transport in the areas.

"So we avoid that children spend too much time on transportation, and it takes time from teaching," said Gert Bjerregaard told Jyllands-Posten, and highlighted the main objective of the new structure is that dentists have to work in larger units of learning from each other and thus obtain experience.

Location and cost of the large clinics
We have not been named, what schools to house the new large clinics. But in Aarhus municipality report on the new structure is the following schools listed as bid on schools in the future to house the large clinics Møllevangsskolen, Vejlby School Lystrup School Tovshøjskolen, Kragelund School and Vestergård School.

The large dental clinics should have three to five dental team and the establishment costs of a single large clinic is expected to be around 8.5 million. The total cost for the new dental structure is expected to amount to 100 million. kr and an unknown amount of transportation of particularly vulnerable children.
