Abstract(s)
A saúde oral infantil é fundamental para o desenvolvimento integral da criança, impactando diretamente a sua saúde física, emocional e social. Este estudo explora a influência dos cuidadores na higiene dentária infantil, sublinhando a importância da educação e do envolvimento activo dos mesmos para assegurar práticas adequadas de higiene oral. O principal objectivo é descrever o papel dos cuidadores na promoção da saúde dentária das crianças, analisando a correlação entre os seus hábitos de higiene e as práticas dentárias infantis. Além disso, são discutidos tratamentos e abordagens que possam melhorar a saúde oral das crianças.
A dissertação foi desenvolvida com base em artigos científicos obtidos em bases de dados digitais, como Medline-PubMed e Cochrane Library, complementada por uma pesquisa manual em livros e revistas especializadas em odontopediatria. A pesquisa incluiu estudos sobre escovagem, uso de fio dentário, consultas regulares e factores socioculturais e económicos que influenciam a saúde oral infantil.
Os resultados indicam que cuidadores envolvidos promovem melhores hábitos de higiene oral nas crianças, resultando numa redução significativa de cáries e doenças periodontais. O envolvimento activo dos responsáveis e o acesso a cuidados preventivos mostraram-se factores cruciais na promoção da saúde oral infantil. Conclui-se que programas educativos para cuidadores, combinados com uma dieta equilibrada e cuidados dentários preventivos, são essenciais para promover uma saúde oral duradoura nas crianças, garantindo, por meio de políticas públicas, o acesso equitativo a serviços dentários.
Children's oral health is fundamental to their holistic development, directly impacting their physical, emotional and social health. This study explores the influence of carers on children's dental hygiene, highlighting the importance of education and active involvement of carers to ensure adequate oral hygiene practices. The main objective is to describe the role of caregivers in promoting children's dental health, analysing the correlation between their hygiene habits and children's dental practices. In addition, treatments and approaches that can improve children's oral health are discussed. The dissertation was developed based on scientific articles obtained from digital databases such as Medline-PubMed and the Cochrane Library, complemented by manual research in books and journals specialising in paediatric dentistry. The research included studies on brushing, flossing, regular appointments and sociocultural and economic factors that influence children's oral health. The results indicate that involved carers promote better oral hygiene habits in children, resulting in a significant reduction in caries and periodontal disease. The active involvement of carers and access to preventive care proved to be crucial factors in promoting children's oral health. It is concluded that educational programmes for caregivers, combined with a balanced diet and preventive dental care, are essential to promote lasting oral health in children, guaranteeing, through public policies, equitable access to dental services.
