About this Research Topic
Our focus in Community Oral Health lies within the intricate realm of population-based oral health, encompassing not only the individual but the broader community spectrum. Defined as the scientifically-informed artistry of preventing oral diseases, our primary intent is to foster oral health enhancement leading to an improved quality of life - a collective commitment conjoined by societal efforts.
The prime objective of this Research Topic, is to comprehensively delineate and understand the oral health profiles across various populations, with a keen emphasis on specific at-risk cohorts. Given the extensive scope, this research seeks to identify and define key strategic approaches aimed at advancing not only oral health behaviors and practices, but also improving oral health literacy within these communities. Potential research subjects under this topic could encompass, though would not be limited to, the following areas:
• In-depth characterization of oral health behaviors and literacy levels amongst specific high-risk groups.
• Identification and evaluation of principal strategies designed to foster an improvement in population-wide oral health behaviors and best practices.
• Detailed analysis concerning the behavior and oral health literacy of specific community risk groups.
• Examination of the impact and efficacy of oral health promotional programs and strategies in the context of improving oral health literacy across communities.
• Systematic reviews filtering in the broader field of public health with a specific lens aimed at community oral health.
Through this Research Topic, we hope to facilitate an expansive discourse on this crucial matter and enlighten ourselves with enriched insight on best practices focused on improving Community Oral Health.
