dc.description.abstract | The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), under its Community Free of
Caries Initiative, is proud to present the Integrated Oral Disease Prevention and
Management (IODPM) modules as a practical solution to facilitate the integration
of oral health within primary health care. Integrating oral health prevention and
management into the delivery of primary health care services is now one of the
cornerstones of PAHO’s oral health program.
The IODPM modules are geared to assist primary health care workers in the
prevention of oral diseases and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) through
various promotional activities. The resulting benefits serve to increase awareness
of protective factors, such as appropriate oral self-care practices, the effective
use of fluorides, and healthy lifestyle choices related to diet, nutrition, personal
hygiene, and smoking and alcohol consumption. This integrated approach is a
“‘best practice”’ model and reorients oral health care toward prevention, tackles
common risk factors for NCDs and oral health and, facilitates early intervention. | en_US |
