Awareness as the key to better oral health

Prevention is the future of oral care. That is what Hans Prakken, board member of the Ivoren Kruis, emphasizes in a recent interview with Dental Info. He points out the importance of a proactive approach: the more people are aware of their own role in oral health, the better the preventive results will be.

According to Prakken, a change in behavior is needed to prevent oral problems. "This creates more awareness that people can do something about it themselves," he says. This fits in seamlessly with the mission of the Ivoren Kruis: promoting preventive oral care through knowledge and awareness.

In the interview he discusses how professionals and patients can work together to prevent oral problems and what role education plays in this. Want to know more about his vision and the future of preventive oral care? Read the full interview on Dental Info.
