Description
The essays in this book concentrate on drawing together clinical and epidemiological information concerning the prevention of dental caries and periodontal disease, both major problems which are largely preventable. The first edition focused on prevention, summarizing knowledge on factors such as diet, fluoride, oral cleanliness, fissure sealants and vaccinations. In this second edition, the chapters on diet, fluoride and fissure sealants have been expanded. A new chapter on secular changes in the prevalance of dental caries has been added and further consideration has been given to the changing pattern of dental treatment particularly in the United Kingdom. The scope of the book has also been widened by including three new chapters on dental health education and prevention of dental disease in old age and the handicapped.
