As the person primarily responsible for examining dental - jaw - facial defects for students in Nghe An in the "School Dentistry" journey, organized by Thai Thuong Hoang Hospital with the support of Nghe An Department of Health, which has been implemented for many years, for Dr. Thu Hoai, taking care of children's oral health is considered a "mission".
"The person who spreads smiles to children" has become the affectionate name that parents and students give to female doctor Phan Thi Thu Hoai.
Talking about her job, she is very proud but also cannot hide her concern when witnessing the reality of facial and dental defects (misalignment, underbite, overbite, spaced teeth, crowded teeth...) of children from 6-15 years old in Nghe An, accounting for a high percentage. This directly affects chewing ability, jaw joints, lack of aesthetics, causing children to lose confidence when communicating.
Therefore, Dr. Thu Hoai and the team of doctors and nurses of the department always strive to propagate to parents that dental - maxillofacial diseases can be overcome if they are examined regularly, detected early, and treated properly with the application of modern techniques and machines.
The doctor advised parents to have their children brush their teeth early and properly, and have regular check-ups every 6 months to detect early dental and facial defects (the best age for detection is 5-7 years old and the most suitable age for orthodontics is 12-15 years old).
The story of a child patient that the female doctor will always remember is Hoai An, 18 years old, in Hung Binh ward - Vinh city. Although she is a pretty girl, Anshy to interact, not smiling, not talking to people. His mother said, at school, An did not interact with anyone because every time he smiled, his friends often laughed at him because his teeth were protruding, crowded, very unaesthetic.
After examining and consulting me, the doctor chose the most suitable treatment method with reasonable cost, which is fixed orthodontics with lingual braces. This is an orthodontic method that "hides" the braces inside, increases aesthetics, and is especially painless and does not cause bleeding. Now my braces have been removed, my teeth are stable, and I am much more confident in communicating.
Efforts to apply new techniques to improve treatment effectiveness
Currently, the Orthodontics Department - Thai Thuong Hoang Hospital of Orthodontics and Plastic Surgery is applying the main treatment method: Fixed orthodontics with braces. In addition, the department also implements two orthodontic techniques using the lingual surface and orthodontics using transparent trays. All of these methods are effective in terms of aesthetics and have outstanding results.
