Abstract (croatian)

Oralno zdravlje je važno za opće zdravlje i kvalitetu života. Bolesti usne šupljine pogađaju sve više i više ljudi. Zubni karijes, gingivitis i parodontitis su najčešće bolesti usne šupljine i one se mogu spriječiti. Promicanje oralnoga zdravlja i preventivne oralne programe treba uključiti u nacionalne zdravstvene strategije. Nesposobnost razumijevanja zdravstvenih informacija može biti veliki nedostatak kada se od pacijenata zatraži da preuzmu odgovornost za svoje zdravlje. Podizanje razine oralne zdravstvene pismenosti i unaprijeđenje komunikacije između pacijenta i stomatologa uz izbjegavanje uporabe stručne terminologije treba biti uključeno u sve oralne preventivne programe.

Abstract (english)

Oral health is essential to general health and quality of life. Ever more people are affected with oral diseases. Dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis are the most common oral diseases and they can be prevented. Oral health promotion and oral disease prevention programs should be incorporated in national health strategies. Inability to understand health information can be a profound disadvantage to patients when asked to take responsibility for their health. Increasing the level of oral health literacy and improvement of communication between patients and dentists by avoiding the usage of professional dental terminology should be included in each oral prevention program.
