Factors related to access to family dentists and regular dental checkups--results of oral health examination of an adult population

In February 2000, we examined the oral health status of 578 government employees (males 408, females 170). We also asked them to complete questionnaires on oral health. The following results were obtained. Of the total sample, 39.2% had a family dentist. There were significantly more women, and older workers, who had a family dentist. The reasons to visit family dentists were "treatment (75.9%)," "prevention (14.4%)," and "regular checkups (8.8%)." Workers who had family dentists had more filled teeth and fewer present teeth than those without family dentists, and the difference was significant. Less than half (42.7%) of the workers were receiving dental checkups regularly, more commonly at the work site (76.3%) than by family dentists (22.4%). There was no significant difference in oral health status between workers who received/did not receive regular dental checkups. Workers who repeatedly went to the clinic for treatment considered their dentist as a "family dentist." This indicated that dental professionals and ordinary people have a different concept of a "family dentist." The habit of visiting a dentist regularly seeking checkups and prevention is not yet popular. To improve this condition, it would be necessary to undertake efforts to change the concept on family dentists for both patients and dental professionals, to improve the school oral health system, to use mass dental examination at work sites effectively, and to reform the health insurance system to be prevention-oriented.     

Communicating with each other

Most dentists commit their professional lives to improving oral health by providing preventive and treatment services to their patients. In addition, dentists often participate in community, professional or legal activities that promote oral health. This paper describes five ways that dentists have worked with each other and with others to enhance oral health: (1) Dentists working with each other to promote oral health without the use of organized dentistry. Described as an example is the experience of all the periodontists in one city in the USA in providing community education. (2) Dental associations organizing or facilitating groups of dentists and other dental health professionals to develop and implement programmes that promote oral health. Two community-based educational efforts stimulated by the American Dental Association are described. (3) Dental specialty associations encouraging and facilitating specialists to work with other dentists to enhance their knowledge and skills in prevention, treatment and appropriate referral. The American Academy of Periodontology's efforts to teach communication skills to periodontists and diagnosis and treatment skills to general practitioners is cited as an example. (4) Dentists working with physicians and other non-dental health professionals to promote oral health. Integrating dental education into childbirth preparation classes for expectant parents is one instance of an interdisciplinary approach. (5) An individual dentist taking a leadership role to positively influence legislation to regulate a harmful substance. The efforts of one dentist to restrict the sale and promotion of smokeless tobacco are described. Working with other dentists, health care providers and legislators represent alternative ways that dentists have affected the oral health of individuals.     

Oral health behaviour of schoolchildren and parents in Jordan

Summary. Objectives. The objectives of the study were: (i) to assess the level of dental knowledge and attitudes towards child dental care among parents in Jordan, (ii) to analyse the oral health care habits of schoolchildren and parents, and (iii) to evaluate the oral hygiene habits and use of professional dental services of children in relation to socio‐demographic conditions. Design. Cross‐sectional, self‐administered questionnaires for parents. Sample and methods. National representative sample of 6–16‐year‐olds living in urban areas (n = 1556, children and parents, response rate 92%, 48·7% boys, 51·3% girls). Results. In all, 80% of the parents knew about the harmful effect of sugar and 79% thought that poor oral hygiene may induce dental caries. In addition to proper oral hygiene (79%) and restriction of sugar/sweets (42%), 36% of the parents emphasized regular dental visits for the prevention of dental disease in children. However, most children saw a dentist for symptomatic reasons only (86%), while 11% attended for dental check‐ups. At their last visit to the dentist, 49% of the children had tooth extraction and only 8% had preventive services (fissure sealing). Toothbrushing at least twice a day was reported for 31% of the children; 14% of children aged 6–9 years had assistance from adults in brushing. Dental care habits of children were highly affected by dental visiting habits of parents, and variations by level of education of parents were also found. Conclusions. The discrepancy between dental knowledge and attitudes of parents and oral health care practices indicate the need for oral health education. School‐based oral health promotion programmes should be established in Jordan to influence the oral health behaviour of children and parents and to avoid further deterioration in their oral health.     

Oral health knowledge and sources of information among male Saudi school children.

The purpose of present study was to determine the oral health knowledge and sources of information in male Saudi school children. The required information was collected through a especially designed questionnaire. A total of 130 children completed the questionnaire with the mean age of 13.3 (SD 1.9) years. There was no significant difference in oral health knowledge or sources of information in relation to age and educational level. Less than half (44.6%) of the children actually had heard about fluoride, one-third (34.6%) correctly identified the action of fluoride as preventing tooth decay. Almost all (97.2%) the children thought that sweets (chocolates/candies) could cause tooth decay. However, a large number of children were not aware of cariogenic potential of soft drinks (31.5%). More than half (53.1%) of the children reported that their dentist taught them how to brush properly. However, 11.5% children were not taught by any one about proper tooth-brushing. A large number (40.0%) of children thought that one must visit the dentist only in case of pain in the teeth. Dentists were the most popular (61.5%) source of oral health information. It can be concluded that the children need further oral health education in areas of caries prevention, and there was a need to utilise parents, schoolteachers and media to enhance their oral health knowledge.     

Views and experiences of parents and siblings of adults with Down Syndrome regarding oral healthcare: a qualitative and quantitative study

AIMS: To investigate experiences and expectations of parents/siblings of adults with Down Syndrome (DS) regarding oral healthcare, and explore factors impacting on access and experience of dental care for this group. DESIGN: A two phase qualitative and quantitative study using in-depth interviews with a convenience sample of six parents/siblings, and a postal questionnaire of 200 parents/siblings of adults with DS who are members of the Down Syndrome Association. RESULTS: The main themes elicited from the qualitative interviews related to concern, experiences, parents'/siblings' attitudes, preferences and information. The response rate from the postal questionnaire was 63.5%. Adults with DS attended the dentist regularly but received little restorative treatment. Experience of oral healthcare was influenced by the attitudes and skills of dental health professionals; stigma; and relatives' expectations of dentists, their oral health beliefs, information and support received, knowledge and priorities. Parents/siblings wanted dentists to be proactive in providing more information on oral health issues in collaboration with other health and social care professionals. CONCLUSIONS: Whilst most adults with DS visited the dentist regularly, relatively little treatment had been provided. Parents highlighted a need for appropriate and timely oral health information early in their child's life, and access to dentists who were sympathetic, good communicators and well-informed about DS.     

Oral health behaviour of 12-year-old children in Kuwait

Objectives . The objectives of the study were: (1) to describe the pattern of oral health behaviour of 12-year-old children in Kuwait, (2) to analyse this in relation to parental education, dental visiting habits and location, and (3) to establish a baseline for planning and evaluation of an oral health care programme for secondary schoolchildren.
Design . Cross-sectional, interviews with children in 1995.
Sample and methods . The sample included 500 12-year-old schoolchildren (250 boys and 250 girls) selected from schools in Kuwait. All the children agreed to take part. Interviews with the children were carried out in the schools by four trained and calibrated Arabic speaking interviewers.
Results . During the previous 12 months, 28% of the children had experienced oral health problems – toothache (10%), or had felt discomfort (18%) either often or occassionally. The children reported that they needed oral hygiene instruction (71%), fillings (32%) and tooth extraction (23%). For 53% of the children the reason for the most recent visit to a dentist was pain or problems with teeth or gums. At their last dental visit 26% of the children had undergone a tooth extraction. The consumption of sugary foods and drinks was extremely high. Children who had visited a dentist within the last 12 months and children whose parents had higher education levels more often claimed frequent toothbrushing than those with no previous dental visiting experience and those whose parents had a low level of education.
Conclusions . Oral health education and oral health care programmes should be established in secondary schools in Kuwait to influence the oral health behaviour of the children and to avoid further deterioration in their oral health.     

Longitudinal study of oral hygiene and dietary habits among immigrant children in Sweden

Families immigrating to Sweden from Finland and Southern Europe (Greece, Yugoslavia, and Turkey), as well as Swedish control families of the same social class, were interviewed twice on their children's oral hygiene and dietary habits and on the parents' knowledge of oral health. The first interview was made on the immigrants' arrival in Sweden and the second one 30 months later. The material comprised 35 Finnish, 23 South-European and 54 Swedish families. During the observation period more immigrant than control children had complained about toothache. The frequency of toothbrushing was lower among the immigrants than among the Swedes at both interviews. The frequency of sweets consumption was significantly higher among the immigrants. Fewer immigrant than Swedish children had been examined or treated by a dentist before the first interview. There was no difference between the immigrants and the controls in channels of information about oral hygiene, the schools and the dentists being (he foremost source of information for both groups. The Swedish parents had a more competent knowledge of oral hygiene than the parents of the immigrant children. It was concluded that Finnish and South-European immigrant children definitely have a great need of preventive dentistry.

Questionnaire on "having a family dentist" and the status of oral health

In 1999, we gave a Questionnaire on "having a family dentist" to 414 workers (300 males, 114 females) at a government office. Oral health examination was also provided to the same subjects. The following results were obtained: 1. Female workers (43%) had a family dentist more often than male workers (29%), and the difference was significant (p < 0.01). 2. About 45% of the subjects received regular dental checkups at least once a year; however, half of them did not have a family dentist. 3. Convenience, comfort, and communication factors were the main reasons for choosing a particular dentist, while continuity, comprehensiveness, and specialty factors were not taken into consideration in choosing a dentist. 4. The persons who had family dentists had more FT and DMFT, and fewer total numbers of teeth than those without family dentists. From these results, it was suggested that people visited dentists with dental problems and received treatment repeatedly, and then they came to have family dentists. The habit of visiting a dentist regularly seeking checkups and prevention is not yet popular among Japanese adults. To improve oral health consciousness and to promote oral health, it should be recommended to receive regular checkups and oral health education by a family dentist. However, the present condition does not allow this system. Therefore in Japan, it should be encouraged to provide oral health examination and oral health education regularly at work sites, to improve the oral health of the adult population.     

Dental health of dentists' children in Mongolia

Summary. Objectives. To describe the dental health of dentists’ children, to evaluate its association with their dentist‐parents’ background and work‐related characteristics and to compare it with that of children in the general population in Mongolia. Design. Cross‐sectional survey, questionnaire‐based data. Subjects. Dentists’ children, aged 3–13 years. Sample. All dentists (n = 250) actively practising in the capital city of Mongolia. Results. The dentists’ children's dmft ranged from 0 to 12, and DMFT from 0 to 8; 50% were caries‐free. The younger the children, the higher was their total caries experience expressed as the sum of DMFT + dmft scores (r = ?0·22; P = 0·001). Dentist‐parents’ background and work‐related factors were not associated with their children's caries status (P > 0·05). When dentists’ children were compared with their counterparts at the population level, mean dmft for 6‐year‐olds was 2·6 for (urban) dentists’ children, 6·5 for children in the urban population and 0·9 for those in rural population of equivalent age. Mean DMFT for 12‐year‐olds were 1·0, 1·8 and 1·2, respectively, in the same three groups. In general, (urban) dentists’ children in all age groups had better dental health than did their urban counterparts at the population level. Among 5–7‐year‐olds, dentists’ children had worse dental health than did their counterparts in the rural population. Conclusions. Despite the dentists’ knowledge and awareness, their children demonstrated higher rates of dental caries than expected. This suggests that Mongolian dentists may have insufficient preventive orientation. In particular, the primary dentition of younger children seems to be poorly valued. In Mongolia, dentists should have better training and education in modern methods of caries prevention and their advantages. Appreciation and care of the primary dentition need to be improved at all levels of oral health promotion in Mongolia.
