[Event report] About Kenvue “Oral Health Committee” Kenvue Senior Director Rina Urasaki explained the purpose of this committee. “When you hear the word oral health, what do you think of? It’s probably something you can see, such as cavities or crooked teeth. There are probably many problems that cause you to feel pain.However, it has become clear in recent years that bacteria in your mouth can affect your daily physical condition and diseases throughout your body. It is said that 2 out of 3 people in Japan don’t know about it.Based on this background, as someone who owns a brand that deals with oral health, we aim to manage your whole body’s health from simple oral care. With this mission in mind, we have launched the “Oral Health Committee.”

He then introduced the “Bukubuku Club” as a specific activity of our committee with companies. “Presenteeism,” one of the daily physical complaints caused by poor oral health, has recently been attracting attention. I’m sure all office workers have times when they feel like, “For some reason, I can’t concentrate while working” or “I’m not feeling well.” In preparation for “Good Teeth Day” on November 8th, Rakuten and the “Bukubuku Club” held lectures on “the relationship between the mouth and presenteeism” and “correct oral care.” It was very well received by all of our employees. With this launch as a starting point, we will continue to work together with other companies, and we hope to drive the initiative to the point where it becomes a social phenomenon, so we ask for your continued support.” Miki Fujimoto also took the podium as the committee’s ambassador. “I have been appointed as an ambassador for the Oral Health Committee! As Mr. Urasaki mentioned earlier, I am one of those who did not know about the relationship between oral bacteria and the whole body. Of course, the health of my husband, children, and family is important. I would like to study together with you because I want to protect your health.I also want to work to make everyone aware of the importance of oral care!”, he said about his future aspirations. I received it.

I urged.

Periodontal disease not only makes it impossible to enjoy meals, but also has a connection to systemic diseases such as diabetes, premature birth, and low birth weight. The bacteria in the mouth are not only strongly attached to the tooth surface, but also inside the mouth. The toothbrush alone can only remove 60% of the dirt from the tooth surface.It is important to remove the rest with floss and interdental brushes. Chemically killing bacteria with mouthwash is recommended. In addition, self-care is often difficult or can be done in one’s own way, so we hope that you will receive advice from professionals as a preventive measure and update the care that suits your mouth. ”, he said that it is important not only to do self-care, but also to work with your dentist to find the care that is right for you and prevent it. After Dr. Adachi’s lecture, ambassador Miki Fujimoto took to the stage and had a conversation with Dr. Adachi on the theme of “Family Oral and Physical Health.” Ms. Fujimoto: “I thought I was relatively conscious about cavities and cleanings, including my children and husband, but after hearing Dr. Adachi’s story, I felt that there was still a long way to go. When I’m busy with housework and childcare, I tend to put my child’s care first and put my own oral care on the back burner.I’d like to know what Dr. Adachi recommends! Dr. Adachi: “When I’m raising a child, I find myself putting things on the back burner, so it’s easy to understand.For people like that, I especially recommend adding just 30 seconds to your usual care routine. Put the wash in your mouth and swish it!” Mr. Fujimoto: “I might be able to do it in 30 seconds! It’s easy to say to my kids and husband. Even if it’s just 30 seconds, I feel like it’s an important time. I’ll try it!” Image

There are various types of bacteria, and “Bacteria to see” includes motile bacteria and spirochetes in the mouth, fusiform bacteria, and Candida. “You can see bacteria such as white blood cells,” he said, and explained the state of bacteria in the oral cavity using “Visible Bacteria” and your own dental plaque. After seeing the actual bacteria, Mr. Fujimoto said, “Wow! You tend to think that the inside of your mouth is the cleanest place, but there are so many bacteria and they move around. “No, I was shocked,” he said, realizing the importance of physical removal using toothpaste and chemical sterilization using mouthwash.
