About This Course Why is preventive dentistry necessary? Through the years, the incidence of oral disease has increased, and man has become more susceptible to dental disease than he was in the past. Data are available to show that 95 percent of all Americans suffer from dental caries sometime during their lifetime. At least 90 percent of the adult population suffers from some form of periodontal disease, and 30,800 new cases of oral cancer occur each year.
This course is designed to acquaint you with
the fundamental concepts of preventive dentistry and the clinical and
homecare procedures used in administering the program. It also seeks to
familiarize you with the technical nomenclature used in the oral
examination, prophylaxis, fluoridation, and education of the dental
patient. .
