Toothpaste for fillings? Homemade dentures? Beware of “Intelligence Tax”

Yangtze River Daily, Wuhan Client, May 11th Special toothpaste can make people fill their teeth unconsciously by brushing their teeth? A special resin material, soaked in hot water and then shaped into a tooth shape with your fingers, can make your own dentures and bond them to the left and right teeth of the missing teeth for temporary use? Recently, there has been a lot of publicity about special toothpaste fillings on the Internet. In this regard, experts poured a basin of cold water.

Liang Shanshan told the Changjiang Daily reporter that she had encountered many similar consultations when she usually received patients. “These false advertisements look tempting, but they are actually ‘IQ taxes’. The methods are unscientific and even less safe.”

On the Internet, there are dazzling products of various “self-service fillings”.

“Most professional stomatologists have gone through more than ten years of professional study. This is very different from the formulation of ‘self-taught in 3 minutes’ on the Internet.” Director of the Department of Prosthodontics, Wuhan University Stomatological Hospital, Stomatology Restoration expert Professor Huang Cui said.

She introduced that medical students need at least 5 years to complete the theoretical knowledge study and professional training in the university. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree, they need at least 3-6 years for standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment training and vocational skills majors. Only after training can you grow into a master’s or doctoral degree. After entering the clinical work position, you need to continue to study. Therefore, various DIY dental operations introduced on the Internet may seem simple, but they are not realistic. If you want to deal with oral problems well, you can restore the teeth properly and restore the beauty and function without affecting the daily life such as eating and speaking, which requires high professional skills in oral prosthodontics.

Huang Cui reminds the public that if you encounter dental caries, cracks and other dental defects, please go to a professional dental medical institution for medical treatment, and do not blindly solve it at home. (Changjiang Daily reporter Wang Chunlan correspondent Jiang Chujian Li Xian)
