Report Errors
Objectives: Children and adolescents have a high prevalence of dental caries, primarily due tonegligent oral care, frequent snack intake, and inadequate attention to oral disease prevention. Therefore, ensuring oral care and preventing dental caries during this period is essential. Economicbarriers, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like the Philippines, limit access to dentalcare, highlighting the need for national oral health programs. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the oral health status of children in selected areas of thePhilippines and to generate basic data for effective oral health promotion programs. We comparedthe oral health statuses of enrolled and newly enrolled students in schools with school-based den tal clinics. Results: The results indicated that the prevalence of caries and the average number of carious per manent teeth were lower in enrolled students than in new students. Conclusions: This finding suggests that school-based oral healthcare programs effectively improvechildren’s oral health and that introducing school-based dental clinics and establishing efficientsystems are essential for improving oral health in low- and middle-income countries.
