Preventive dentistry in Illinois.

Success in preventive dentistry requires much more than community water fluoridation, dental sealants, fluoride supplements and dental health education. The scope of preventive dentistry should include oral cancer prevention, orofacial injury control, craniofacial anomalies, malocclusion, and the early detection of systemic disease with oral manifestations. The Division of Dental Health has developed preventive programs to address a majority of these health problems. The State of Illinois can be considered in the forefront of preventive dentistry. It has more than 85% of its population served by optimally fluoridated drinking water, 75,000 children participating in fluoride mouthrinse programs, established dental sealant programs and mouthguard programs, and the availability of innovative programs that address a wide variety of oral health concerns. These programs and others being conducted by the Illinois State Dental Society and in private dental offices are providing a significant improvement in the oral health status for all residents of Illinois.

Fluorides in preventive dentistry.

Caries prevention with the aid of administration of fluoride in a great variety of forms has been extensively studied in the past decades. Whilst the scientific and technical problems around these preventive measures can be considered to be solved, there remains the problem of implementation not only on a community but also on an individual level. Therefore behavioural rather than technical aspects of fluoride administration deserve increased attention. Success of individual as well as community fluoridation schemes will depend on a positive attitude, acceptance, activity, communicativeness, responsibility and perseverance of all members of the dental profession.
