Teeth 2008國際愛牙日


人的一生只有兩副牙齒:乳齒和恆齒,所以我們應好好愛惜它們。於二零零三年,香港衛生署將九月二十日定為「愛牙日」,並透過不同的宣傳活動,大力推廣口腔健康的重要性,旨在令市民更關注個人口腔衛生及健康。

我們通常在口內看見的,只是一隻牙的一部份,叫牙冠;埋在牙槽骨內的是牙根。牙冠的最外層是透明的琺瑯質,是很堅固的。接著是象牙質,內裡是牙髓,裡面有神經和血管。一生人有兩副牙齒,即乳齒和恆齒。乳齒由大約六個月到兩歲茁牙,一共有20隻;恆齒由大約六歲到十二歲茁牙,替代乳齒,一共有32隻。

(一)蛀牙每次吃喝時,牙垢膜的細菌會利用食物中的碳水化合物(糖分和澱粉質)產生酸素,令琺瑯質的礦物質流失。如果吃喝次數頻密,唾液便不能有效發揮中和作用,牙齒表面的礦物質便會持續流失,形成蛀牙。1) 限制進食糖份的次數 除控制食物及飲品中的含糖量外,將進食糖份的次數減至最低,避免在餐與餐\\\\之間進食含糖小食。有些食物如芝士及生果果實較糖果、餅乾及蛋糕對牙齒更好。確保每日飲用的飲品均不含糖份。2) 培養良好的刷牙方法及以牙線清潔由於齒斑與牙齒的顏色一樣,很難分辨在牙齒上的齒斑。你可使用漂白牙膏,能夠有效地清除齒斑,保持牙肉健康及預防牙周病。

(二)牙周病牙周病有數種形式,全都起因於細菌感染,造成牙齦、支撐牙齒並維持牙齒在上下顎的位置的牙槽骨和牙周韌帶的破壞。
1) 正確的潔牙方法 由於牙齒之間的縫隙,以及牙齒與牙齦之間的牙齦溝,均是清潔上最容易被忽略的死角,因此牙刷必需放置在適當的位置與角度,甚至配合牙線的使用,才能確實有效地清除牙菌斑。要掌握刷牙的技巧,可向你的牙科醫師學習正確的潔牙方法,一旦養成習慣,便是最方便省時省錢的護齒之道。

2) 漱口水作輔助工具牙齒一旦形成牙垢膜是很難清潔的,即使刷牙亦難清潔牙縫、牙肉邊緣的牙垢污蹟,所以同時需使用漱口水作為輔助。特別是液體狀的漱口水能滲入口腔每個角落殺菌,徹底清潔,可同時預防口臭及牙齦炎形成,帶給你清爽新感受。

(三)根管發炎主要是由於牙髓腔內的根管組織發炎,使得血管擴張牙髓腔內壓力升高。當牙髓腔內壓力升高到某種程度,便會刺激牙髓腔內的疼痛神經,因而引發發炎性的疼痛。

1) 增強個人抵抗力減少細菌蔓延 有均衡的營養,抽煙、壓力會減低本身的免疫力;此外,一些不當的習慣,如磨牙、過度咀嚼硬物或者缺牙後沒有重建,造成牙齒移位,導致咬合不正等情形,不但加速牙齒的磨耗,有時也會加速根管發炎的速度。

2) 定期口腔檢查 定期口腔檢查,不但有助早期發現根管發炎,更可及早作出治療。如果發現家中有嚴重牙周炎的年輕患者,建議其家庭成員也應作適當的檢查。

(四)口臭
口臭顧名思義就是從口部發出來的難聞氣味,不管是「暫時性口臭」(進食引致口氣的食物)還是「病理性口臭」(屬於某種疾病的徵狀之一),對患者的社交生活都會造成一定影響。其實口臭都可以成為一個「慢性」問題,不單止影響個人及社交生活,更會打擊你的自尊及自信心。部份患者並不察覺自己有口臭問題,需要別人提醒才會發現。如想自我檢查,可以用手捂著口鼻,向掌心呼氣;或者直接向相熟朋友詢問。一般來說,口臭大多來自刷牙及用牙線不當或牙齒出現毛病,例如牙周病,令厭氧菌(Anaerobic Bacteria)在口內生長,產生揮發性硫化合物(Volatile Sulphur Compounds)而形成;但也不排除由病理性的疾病引致,例如患有鼻敏感、鼻竇炎、鼻咽癌等疾病。

護齒須知
1) 保持良好的飲食習慣,應每天定時進食早、午、晚3餐,而3餐的分量要足夠,以減少吃喝次數。每次進食後,應刷牙漱口。

2) 定期更換牙刷或刷頭,確保牙齒得到徹底的潔淨。

3) 定期接受口腔檢查。對一般人來說,應每年檢查牙齒一次。但一些高危或有特別需要的人士,就需要6個月檢查口腔一次。這些有特別需要的人士包括:吸煙人士、患有嚴重口腔疾病人士、患有系統性疾病人士,如患有糖尿病、血友病、愛滋病等人士,身體的免疫系統會受到妨礙,抵抗病菌的能力相應降低。如果口腔不夠清潔,在牙齒表面的牙垢膜就會十分容易引致牙周病。並且,牙周病的病情會迅速惡化,變成嚴重的牙周病。

4) 洗牙對保持口腔健康是十分重要,建議定期半年清洗牙齒一次。


避免損害牙齒小貼士

1) 為免牙齒被酸蝕,造成牙齒敏感,平日應減少進食高酸性的食物和飲品,如酸蕎頭、話梅、檸檬、汽水、酒精飲品等,口渴時,建議盡量飲用清水。

2) 果仁、合桃等外殼較為堅固的食物,可能會令牙齒崩裂,進食時應小心為上。

3) 吸煙會產生口氣及容易形成牙漬,為免影響健康和儀表,應盡快戒掉。

4) 一向知道食葡萄乾有助牙齒健康,想不到甜甜的朱古力都有同樣作用。加拿大、日本及美國分別有研究專家提出朱古力對琺瑯質的磨損並不比葡萄乾多,而朱古力更能在牙齒表面敷上保護層,不易讓結石形成。

Interviews of Hong Kong Kindergartens

I don't know it is the culture of Hong Kong or same to the other Countries/Places. In Hong Kong, the parents must help their little one to apply for the Kindergarten(s) in advance at least 1 year. We are a very nervous parent, actually we do the same thing.


My husband read the books about how to choose the kindergartens, then I filled in the forms of all our targets'. We find the useful website, Baby Kingdom, which gives a lot opinions, and post your question and get the answer as well. I know that my son's school uniform can be bought in Kowloon City with lower price but same quality. It is cheaper than 2 times as we through school.


There are the interview questions from different kindergartens in 2007, as below:
(A) Creative Primary School's Kindergarten

(B) York English Primary School & Kindergarten

(C) Keen Mind Kindergarten and Nursery

My son, Gordon, which is called by himself and comes from the UK Famous TV programme "Thomas the Tanks Engine & Friends". He is nearly to 3 years old now. In coming September, he will go to York English Primary School & Kindergarten.


When you got a baby, the time is running faster than before. 3 years ago, it seemed not far away from now. I could remember that my husband and I went to Eugene Club Centre to prepare all the things for our first baby, as new born Baby Clothes, milk bottles, baby towels, baby bed, baby bed sheet, pure cotton buds, bath tub, baby trolley ......


However, I was very worry about my first little one. In 41th weeks, I was asked by the doctor to go to hospital to deliver. After 3 days later, I got one of the symptoms of delivery. Then I went to hospital immediatly, meanwhile, I was very excited because I could see my son soon. Ah! It was born on 30th August.





It was taken by MyBB.(8 months)
