Research studies on dental public health issues School dental screening programs Researchers have concluded that it is unclear whether or not school screening programs improve attendance at the dentist. There is low-certainty evidence that school screening initiatives with incentives attached, such as free treatment, may be helpful in improving oral health of children. One-to-one oral hygiene advice provided in a dental setting for oral health One-to-one oral hygiene advice (OHA) is often given on a regular basis to motivate individuals and to improve one's oral health. However, it is still unclear if one-to-one OHA in a dental settings is effective in improving one's oral health. Nevertheless, despite the increased oral hygiene education programs in schools due to the higher quality of life, there is an increased intake of processed food, especially of sweetened beverages. The favorable effect of the increased level of dental health education may be counteracted by nutritional behavior, especially sweets intake and low attendance of regular dental office check-ups and insufficient oral health practices (tooth brushing) generating a still increased caries prevalence and DMFT index in adolescents. Irregular dental check-up and sugary dietary habits were associated with high prevalence the occurrence of dental conditions as assessed by the Decayed, Missing (due to caries), and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index. Community based population level interventions for promoting child oral health This systematic review wanted to determine the effectiveness of different interventions in preventing dental caries in children and when was the most effective time to intervene during childhood. Overall the evidence found showed low certainty that combining oral health education alongside supervised toothbrushing or professional intervention would reduce dental caries in children (from birth to 18). The most effective time to intervene in childhood was still unclear as well. Improving the diets of children and the access to fluoride showed only a limited impact to improving the oral health of children.
