뮤직 토토사이트 University Hospital held an event on campus in celebration of Oral Health Day from June 9 to 10. The event took place at a booth near the lion statue on campus from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. each day. Professor Lim Seung-won from the Department of Dentistry and dental nurses participated, offering oral checkups and educational sessions on oral hygiene. The event also provided consultations, guidance on dental care products, and information about orthodontic treatment programs. The goal was to raise awareness about oral health among students and help them explore possible treatment options.

Students who visited the booth received brief oral checkups and consultations addressing issues such as dental alignment and periodontal disease. Kim Min-ji (4th year, Department of Sociology) shared, “I’ve always been unsure about getting braces, but today’s consultation cleared up a lot of my questions and gave me a better understanding of what to expect.” She added, “I didn’t even know there was a dental clinic on campus—it’s a huge advantage for Hanyang students to have one so close.”

Professor Lim has been serving as a clinical assistant professor in dentistry at 뮤직 토토사이트 University Hospital since 2021. He specializes in orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages, from children to older adults, and offers preventive orthodontics, lingual braces, and pre- and post-operative care for jaw surgery.

He has actively raised awareness about oral health through platforms such as KBS Radio’s Health 365, Health Kyunghyang, Maeil Business Health, and the Korean Association of Orthodontists’ YouTube channel.

Why dental care matters

Many Hanyang students visit the dental clinic for cavity treatment or wisdom tooth checkups. Professor Lim explained, “We often see cases where symptoms worsen due to a lack of regular checkups. Even a simple consultation can help prevent more serious issues, which is why we planned this event.”

Timing is critical in dental treatment. Cavities, for instance, should be treated before they worsen to avoid needing root canal therapy. Likewise, orthodontic care should begin at an appropriate age to prevent complications. Malocclusion can lead to difficulties with hygiene, chewing, and even self-esteem due to issues such as temporomandibular joint disorders or speech problems.

Professor Lim explained, “If malocclusion is left untreated, it can lead to problems such as receding gums or tilted teeth, so it’s ideal to undergo orthodontic treatment at an early age.” He added, “Although there is no age limit for orthodontic care, earlier treatment typically leads to smoother outcomes.” He also recommended that even college students seek timely treatment if they have malocclusion.

Professor Lim emphasized that there are many orthodontic options beyond traditional braces. These include clear, removable aligners for aesthetic purposes and partial braces focused on the front teeth. He highlighted the importance of customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s dental structure and needs.

Tips for maintaining 뮤직 토토사이트 health

The most fundamental habit for oral care is proper brushing. While brushing three times a day within three minutes after meals is ideal, many people fail to follow this routine. Some even use mouthwash as a substitute, but excessive use can suppress saliva production and lead to dry mouth, so it’s best limited to once daily.

When brushing your teeth, there are four key guidelines to keep in mind. First, make sure to clean all the chewing surfaces, including the upper and lower molars. Second, for the very back molars, stand the toothbrush upright to reach the rear surfaces. Third, brush the inner and outer sides of your teeth with an upward sweeping motion from the gums toward the teeth. Fourth, for the inner surfaces of the front teeth, use the tip of the toothbrush to brush each tooth individually in a downward motion.

In addition to brushing, using interdental brushes or dental floss is vital for cleaning between teeth. Getting an annual scaling and checkup also helps maintain long-term 뮤직 토토사이트 health.

In closing, Professor Lim expressed his hope that the Oral Health Day event continues in the future as a valuable initiative to promote dental care awareness and healthier habits within the 뮤직 토토사이트 community.
