Abstract:
The school-based dental preventive program has been developed strongly in many areas of the whole country. Especially, the program has been covered at level of province such as Ninh B×nh and Nam §Þnh. Its preventive results were very high. Dental caries were reduced and periodontal status is improved. Through the study of fluoride concentration in the natural water, we determine that the use of fluoride mouthwash for children at school is necessary to reduce dental caries.
