ÖZET
Diş çürükleri ve ağız sağlığı problemleri ülkemizde ve dünyada bir global halk sağlığı sorunu olarak kendini göstermektedir. Diş ve ağız sağlığı hedefleri, toplum çapında diş fırçalama alışkanlığının geliştirilmesi, şeker ve karbonhidrat ağırlıklı beslenmenin azaltılması ve gerekli flor desteği ile sağlamak mümkündür. Bunun yanında dez avantajlı sosyo-kültürel olarak geri kalmış kitlelere de mutlaka ulaşılmalıdır. Sorunu tespit eden taramalar önemli olmakla beraber sorunu çözüme kavuşturan davranış değişikliklerini alışkanlığa dönüştüren rol modellerle diş fırçalama seansları daha bir önem arz eder. Ailelere sırasıyla diş fırçalama, kitap okuma ve sonrasında uyku üçgeni öğretilmelidir.
