Oral and General Health Promotion for Children: A Holistic Approach

Basics, Concepts, Behavioral Aspects, A Research-based Evidence

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Inequalities in oral and general health have been
rising globally; WHO calls for adoption of an
integrated approach to their promotion as both share
common risk factors. However, research about this
issue among children is scarce. Based on the
associations of such a research found in common for
all Turkish and Finnish children, this book
underlies that oral health is turning out to be part
of the global health culture, regardless of cultural
differences and different oral health care systems.
The book, further, by most recent literature,
provides a review of 'Significance of Oral Health,
Concept of Oral and General Health Promotion,
Health Behavior Theories and Children'.This book
provides further evidence that children s general
and oral health are interrelated by common lifestyle
and family factors, and both should be supported by
holistic health promotion strategies and empowerment
of families to adopt healthy lifestyles, both in
economically developing and developed countries.
This book should be especially useful to
researchers, professionals in dentistry and
medicine, policy makers, and anyone else involved in
provision of better health to community.
