The Impact Of Oral Health Education And Preventive Measures On Dental Caries And Periodontal Diseases
Main Article Content
Abstract
Oral problems, including dental caries, periodontal diseases, and tooth loss, are significant global public health concerns. This is due to the fact that inadequate oral health has extensive impacts on general health and quality of life. In improving oral health, especially in developing countries, there are obstacles that need to be addressed. It is crucial to enhance public health programs worldwide by implementing efficient preventative measures against diseases and simultaneously boosting oral health. Frequently, collective actions are employed for the purpose of oral health education. These actions often involve delivering lectures utilizing various materials such as flipcharts, videos, PowerPoint presentations, as well as implementing other activities like supervised teeth brushing and topical fluoride application. This paper aimed to review the impact of oral health education and preventive measures on dental caries and periodontal diseases.
