"Prevention is better than cure": an interesting feature of oral care for children in Japan!
2023.09.21


We all know that the Japanese are very particular about hygiene, and of course, children's oral care is no exception.


An interesting feature of children's oral care in Japan is that theyhave a strong focus on prevention 



They believe that prevention is better than cure , so they start teaching children how to brush their teeth properly at an early age.


You may be thinking, is it necessary to focus so much on something as simple as brushing your teeth❓


without doubt❕The Japanese are not generally known for their focus on children's oral care!



In Japan, in the first half of the second grade, primary school students arrange a "dental care" course, which has a special textbook, in order to help children better understand the scientific knowledge of dental care, the book is often used in the form of comics, so that children are more likely to accept it.


After the class, the teacher will also give the children assignments, such as letting the children look in the mirror and draw their own teeth, some children draw very neat teeth, some children draw a big black hole in the teeth.... After the teacher receives the homework, he/she will give some advice on dental care according to the different conditions of each child's teeth, and will take the child to see the school's health care provider if he/she encounters more serious problems such as dental disease.



They don't just teach children to brush their teeth, they organise fun activities to encourage good oral hygiene habits.

For example: they hold brushing competitions to see who can brush the cleanest; they also bring in professional dentists to teach the children how to brush their teeth properly, and even have special oral care speech contests!


Moreover, the Japanese have invented some very interesting brushing tools to attract children's attention. They make toothbrushes in various shapes, such as cartoon characters, animals, and so on, to make children feel that brushing their teeth is a fun thing to do.



Did you know that the Chinese don't pay much attention to children's oral health care? The Chinese people are quite careless when it comes to children's oral health care!

Yes, you heard me right, that's it!

While the Chinese place great importance on education and health, when it comes to children's oral health, it seems to become less of a concern.


Many Chinese people believe that children's teeth will fall out naturally, so they may think that they don't need to pay special attention to children's oral health. They may think that it is fine to wait until their teeth fall out naturally before going to the dentist.


That's an interesting notion, isn't it?
It's like saying, wait for the house to fall down before you fix it.


In China, many parents do not pay much attention to children's oral hygiene.
They may think that as long as the child brushes his or her teeth every day, nothing else matters...


❗However, kids may not brush their teeth very thoroughly, or they may eat a lot of sweets and junk food, which can have an impact on their oral health. So, brushing is just one part of oral health, and there are many other aspects that need to be taken care of too.


For another, they may not know when they should take their child to the dentist, or they may not know how they should brush their teeth properly.


This is an interesting question because the Chinese take education very seriously, but when it comes to children's oral health, it seems to become a bit overwhelming.


The lack of attention to children's oral health care in China is an interesting and worrying issue.


Overall, the Japanese focus on children's oral care is commendable!

They don't just teach children to brush their teeth, but they encourage good oral hygiene habits in a variety of fun ways. These creative and fun ways not only keep the kids entertained, but also make oral care more special and meaningful.



They believe that children can only have healthy teeth if they develop good oral care habits from an early age.


Therefore, if you want your children to have white and healthy teeth, you might as well learn from the Japanese! You can learn from Japan's experience and increase your attention and investment in children's oral care to provide better oral health services for children, thus promoting their overall development and healthy growth. Make children feel that brushing their teeth is a very interesting thing~
