Abstract(s)
A importância de enfatizar a promoção da saúde oral em crianças fundamenta-se não apenas na intenção de educar a sociedade sobre conceitos e práticas de saúde oral, mas também na prevenção de doenças que podem ter repercussões negativas no bem-estar infantil. Neste contexto, o estudo da prevenção e cuidados em saúde oral em crianças de 0 a 6 anos trará uma visão geral sobre os métodos preventivos, bem como as principais condições que acometem a cavidade oral nessa faixa etária. O presente estudo teve como objetivo abordar a importância da prevenção de doenças orais na infância, investigando os fatores de risco associados e os mecanismos subjacentes ao seu desenvolvimento. Adicionalmente, serão discutidos métodos de cuidados em saúde oral com o intuito de avaliar seu impacto positivo na vida das crianças através da adoção de práticas de saúde. O método utilizado para a pesquisa foi através de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa, recorrendo aos motores de busca online SciELO, PubMed, B-On e Google Acadêmico, em português e inglês para artigos de revisão, reporte de casos e revisões sistemáticas. As principais medidas preventivas adotadas para garantir uma saúde oral adequada ao longo da vida incluem, aconselhamento pré-natal e tratamentos dentários na gestante, primeira consulta do bebê entre os 6 meses a 1 ano de idade estabelecendo assim o “dental home”, aleitamento materno exclusivo por 6 meses, adoção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis, uso diário de dentífrico com flúor, interrupção de hábitos deletérios e visitas regulares ao médico-dentista para cuidados preventivos individualizados para a criança. Considera-se que a prevenção e os cuidados orais durante a primeira infância desempenham um papel crucial na preservação da saúde oral e geral, contribuindo para uma diminuição das doenças que afetam a cavidade oral.
The importance of emphasizing oral health promotion in children is based not only on the intention to educate society about oral health concepts and practices but also on the prevention of diseases that can have negative repercussions on child well-being. In this context, the study of prevention and oral health care in children from 0 to 6 years old will provide an overview of preventive methods as well as the main conditions affecting the oral cavity in this age group. The present study aimed to address the importance of preventing oral diseases in childhood by investigating associated risk factors and the underlying mechanisms of their development. Additionally, methods of oral health care will be discussed to assess their positive impact on children’s lives through the adoption of health practices. The research method used was through a narrative literature review, using online search engines such as SciELO, PubMed, B-On, and Google Scholar, in Portuguese and English, for review articles, case reports, and systematic reviews. The main preventive measures adopted to ensure proper oral health throughout life include prenatal counseling and dental treatments for pregnant women, the baby’s first visit between 6 months and 1 year of age, establishing the “dental home,” exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, adopting healthy eating habits, daily use of fluoride toothpaste, cessation of deleterious habits, and regular visits to the dentist for individualized preventive care for the child. It is considered that oral prevention and care during early childhood play a crucial role in preserving oral and overall health, contributing to a decrease in diseases affecting the oral cavity.
