Bilhões têm Deterioração Dentária Não Tratada

Billions Have Untreated Tooth Decay

De VOA Laerning English, este é o Relatório de Saúde. Quase 4 bilhões de pessoas em todo o mundo têm sérios problemas não tratados com seus dentes. É o que diz um relatório recente da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Autoridades de saúde afirmam que o fracasso em reparar cáries pode levar a problemas sociais e emocionais. Wagner Marcenes está com o Instituto de Odontologia de Queen Mary, Universidade de Londres. Ele liderou uma equipe de pesquisadores como parte do estudo Global Burden of Disease 2010. Eles usaram a informação para estimar as taxas de infecção. O relatório diz que o dente não tratado é o mais comum de todas as 291 principais doenças e lesões. O professor Markers diz que o aumento da cárie dentária está afetando a África subsaariana e provavelmente outras áreas do continente. Ele diz que esse aumento na cárie dentária pode ser resultado de mudanças na dieta, já que os países em desenvolvimento adotaram dietas de estilo ocidental. Muitas dietas ocidentais são ricas em açúcar, levando a problemas de saúde na boca. Mas, nos países ocidentais, o abastecimento de água é frequentemente tratado com flúor químico. A adição de flúor à água torna os dentes resistentes às bactérias que podem causar cárie dentária. Wagner Marcenes diz que os problemas de saúde bucal podem ter um efeito melhor na qualidade de vida de uma pessoa. As cáries tornam a alimentação difícil. Como se constata, as pessoas podem comer alimentos mais macios que são mais fáceis de mastigar. No entanto, os alimentos mais macios são geralmente mais ricos em gordura. O professor Marquez está pedindo uma "resposta social urgente e organizada" aos problemas de saúde bucal.   Ele acredita na cárie dentária em vôo através de uma dieta mais saudável. Ele também está pedindo o desenvolvimento de materiais e tratamentos dentários novos e menos dispendiosos.

From VOA Laerning English, this is the Health Report. Nearly 4 billion people around the world have serious, untreated problems with their teeth. That is what a recent report from the World Health Organization says. Health officials says failure to repair cavities can even lead to social and emotional problems. Wagner Marcenes is with the Institute of Dentistry ar Queen Mary, University of London. He led a team of researchers as part of the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study. They used the information to estimate rates of infection. The report says untreated tooth is the most common of all 291 major diseases and injurires. Professor Marcenes says increases in tooth decay are affecting sub-Saharan Africa and probably other areas in the continent. He says this increase in tooth decay could be a result of changes in diet, as developing countries adopt western-style diets. Many western diets are rich in sugar, a leading cause of health problems in the mouth. But, in western countries, water supplies are often treated with chemical fluoride. Adding fluoride to the water makes teeth resistant to the bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Wagner Marcenes says oral health problems can have a major effect on a person's quality of life. Cavities make eating difficult. As a resulta, people may eat softer foods that are easier to chew. However, softer foods are often higher in fat. Professor Marcenes is calling for an "urgent, organized, social response" to oral health problems. He believes in flighting tooth decay thorough a healthier diet. He is also calling for the development of new and less costly dental materials and treatments. For VOA Learning English, I'm Mario Ritter.
