Abordagem da cárie dentária em pré-escolares

Abstract

The present work refers to the high rate of caries in preschool and search through an intervention plan to reduce these injuries and thus contribute to a better quality of life for students. Despite the reduction in caries prevalence in many countries, the disease is still a major public health problem, and the consequences resulting therefrom, such as tooth loss, are considered worrisome. This fact is of great concern in dentistry and justifies the implementation and continuity of prevention and oral health promotion programs. The prevention of dental caries in preschool children is important because the absence or low incidence of caries in the primary dentition indicates a good prognosis for the permanent dentition. It is then necessary that parents are cognizant of the issue for so help children in disease prevention.
