Doctors Ask The Public To Ensure Dental And Oral Health Before Homecoming

JAKARTA - Periodonsia Specialist doctor drg Mutia Rochmawati, Sp.Perio asked the public to ensure the health condition of their teeth and mouths before carrying out Lebaran 2023 homecoming activities.

"It is better to check up or check the condition of the teeth and mouth before going home," said Mutia Rochmawati, quoted from Antara, Sunday.

By early detection of the condition of teeth and mouth, he said, it will support smooth homecoming activities.

"Thus, treatment will be carried out immediately if there is indeed a problem with the health condition of the teeth and mouth," he said.

Dotte emphasizes people who want to travel back and forth to ensure their health is in top condition, including the health condition of their teeth and mouths.

"Make sure your body is healthy so that homecoming can run safely and smoothly. Prepare for homecoming carefully," he said.

He added, if people experience toothache in the middle of their homecoming trip which is quite disturbing, they can take pain relievers.

"If the pain continues after consuming the pain reliever, then you can check the condition of your teeth to the dentist at the nearest health facility, or you can also use telemedicine services," he said.

In addition, he said, people also need to limit their consumption of foods that can trigger toothaches such as sweet and sticky foods, overly acidic foods, and overheated foods.

"If the food is too hot, you should wait until it is not too hot. This needs to be considered before eating food," he said.

He also said that people need to pay more attention to the health of their teeth and mouths so that they stay healthy and well maintained.

"The problematic condition of the teeth and mouth will interfere with homecoming activities and other activities," said Mutia Rochmawati.
