How we can all help improve standards of care for children with clefts to optimize their oral health |
|
Geneva, Switzerland, 30 September, 2021 (APA/OTS) - FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) releases new educational resources to mark World Smile Day - Globally, every three minutes a baby is born with a cleft, that's 540 babies every day. Babies born with a cleft often struggle to eat, breathe, hear, speak, and thrive. Every child has the right to good oral health, which is why FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) joined forces with Smile Train, to launch new educational resources, aimed at improving the quality of life for people born with clefts. |

Cleft lip and palate (clefts) are the most common birth difference
of the face and mouth and impact the development of the mouth, gums,
and palate. Children with clefts are also uniquely susceptible to
poor oral health and are commonly affected by missing, extra, or
malformed teeth and facial structures. Even children who receive
cleft surgery are at an increased risk for caries, periodontal
disease, and other oral health and well-being challenges as they
grow and develop.
The resources, which were developed with suppengl.ort from GSK
Consumer Healthcare, aim to give every child a reason to smile this
World Smile Day® through the delivery of optimal oral healthcare.
The material includes guidelines for dentists and other key members
of the cleft care team as well as resources for patients, families,
and communities, which highlight the importance of oral health,
explain the challenges of oral healthcare beyond cleft surgery, and
provide vital oral health guidance.
"As oral health professionals, we know the long-term impact that
oral diseases can have on the overall health, development and
well-being of children and adults," said FDI President-Elect Prof.
Ihsane Ben Yahya. "By ensuring individuals with cleft receive timely
surgery and oral healthcare we can safeguard their integration into
society, give them self-confidence and the potential to succeed in
their scholarship."
"The partnership between Smile Train and FDI with the support of
GSK Consumer Healthcare, and the resources that have resulted from
this shared commitment to advancing oral health for vulnerable
populations, will change lives for generations to come," said Smile
Train President and CEO Susannah Schaefer.
GSK Consumer Healthcare has pledged to continue its tremendous
support of the initiative between FDI and Smile Train, including the
delivery of workshops using the new education resources and the
development of an education platform of recorded sessions and
family-focused instructional videos on cleft oral health.
"At GSK Consumer Healthcare, we are on a mission to eradicate
preventable oral health problems and we believe in the importance of
good oral health and hygiene for all, especially for those living
with clefts," said GSK Oral Health Lead, Jayant Singh.
"Comprehensive cleft care is a key focus of the work we support with
Smile Train and FDI. We are proud of the progress being achieved by
the release of these resources, which we hope will serve as a
transformative and indispensable tool for the entire cleft care
team."
