Adnkronos Raising awareness and turning awareness of the importance of oral health prevention into concrete action is the goal of the 46th Dental Prevention Month (mesedellaprevenzionedentale.it), an initiative promoted by Mentadent and Andi – the National Association of Italian Dentists – and presented in Rome. The discussion brought together representatives from the dental, academic, and institutional worlds to analyze habits, issues, and perspectives related to oral health.
During the meeting, a survey conducted by Mentadent on 2.000 citizens between the ages of 18 and 75 was presented, which revealed a significant gap between awareness and oral prevention: 80% of those interviewed said they were aware of the need to take action to improve their oral health, but only 4 out of 10 said they actually knew what to do.
To help citizens bridge this gap, a digital information hub has been created on the Prevention Month website.
