Abstract:

A self-perpetuating cycle of poor health literacy and poor oral health knowledge and behavior affects approximately 90 million people in the United States, most especially those from low-income groups and other at-risk populations such as those with addiction. Poor oral health can result from lack of access to regular preventive dental appointments, lack of access to restorative care when dental diseases are treatable, and low oral health knowledge that leads to poor oral health self-care behaviors. In addition, patients' dental anxiety can impede care, because highly anxious people often avoi

Therefore the Health Promoting Schools approach is a pragmatic way to promote oral health at schools in Swakopmund district because a Health Promoting School has a healthy public policy that creat

Introdução: É na idade escolar que cada indivíduo forma a sua personalidade bem como cria hábitos que perpetuarão para o resto da vida. O professor é visto pelos alunos como exemplo e figura de autoridade, detentor de conhecimento. Tem sido verificada uma falta de conhecimentos por parte dos professores no que diz respeito à saúde oral e traumatismos dentários que os impede de serem educadores nesta matéria. Objetivos: Caraterizar os conhecimentos e atitudes dos professores do ensino préescolar ao secundário relativamente à higiene oral/traumatismos dentários e averiguar a influência das vari
