Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease in the world
especially developing countries like India. It affects children as
early as 6 months of age and often carries itself throughout the
life of an individual. Compounding to the existing problem of high
incidence of caries, there are very few dental professionals in
India, those too unequally distributed (dentist to population
ratio: 1:100000 in rural areas and 1:35000 in urban areas).
Moreover, they cater primarily to curative and restorative needs
rather than preventive needs of population. The plight of story is
further strengthened by the fact that there is no comprehensive
oral health programme or policy in India. The book focuses on
feasibility of oral health training of community health workers
(anganwadi workers)in improving the oral health status of preschool
children in a Northern City of India. It also highlights the
importance of including Snyder test (a caries activity test) in
field settings which requires minimum laboratory facilities; is
easy to perform, read and interpret; is cost effective and does not
require strict cold chain conditions.
