Synopsis

Many of the common dental diseases are behavioural in origin, and are affected by individual lifestyles. Health promotion is therefore at the heart of preventing and controlling dental ill health. This is the first book to tackle this important new area of dentistry and presents theoretical and practical advice on a broad range of topics; including models and theories of health behaviour, influence of social factors on oral health promotion, government health policies, health education in specific settings, national campaigns, and evaluation of interventions. Here, the international contributers provide a broad overview of the subject which enables the reader to target sections of particular interest. Practical guidelines for the planning and implementation of oral health programmes presented will be invaluable for practitioners.

Media Reviews
First-class book... Lone Schou and Anthony Blinkhorn have collected together contributions from well-known individuals on oral health matters around the world to produce a readable book of some 12 chapters. This provides a useful scientifically-based reference book with an international flavour, covering all aspects of oral health promotion. The editors and the contributors from Great Britain, America, Canada, Scandinavia and Australia are to be congratulated on filling a gap in dental literature. This book is a must for serious students of dental public health and other branches of dentistry in which oral health promotion is an important consideration. It brings together scientific knowledge, common sense and pratical advice on this complex subject. The book will also find a place on many dentists' bookshelves, as a valuable source of reference on oral health promotion. * John Palmer, International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, Vol. 3/4 *
This is the first comprehensive text book in this field and for this reason it is of considerable importance... will serve well the needs of both undergraduates in training and practitioners, whether in public or private practice. * Journal of the Institute of Health Education, Vol. 32/1 *
This is an important and timely publication that will meet a long felt need for a readable and comprehensive text book on oral health promotion. The authors and editors are to be congratulated on compressing so much into a readable and useful book. It can be usefully recommended to a wide range of disciplines as a text book. Few would fail to gain a better insight into the theory and practice of effective health education. * BDJ *
