  • Title: Oral health, oral health care and dental services--the consumer perspective.
    Author: Rudolph MJ, Gilbert L, Brand AA.
    Journal: J Dent Assoc S Afr; 1994 Dec; 49(12):603-10. PubMed ID: 8613567.
    Abstract:
    As part of a National Oral Health Survey conducted in 1988/89, community knowledge of and attitudes towards oral health and oral health care were examined in the various population groups in South Africa. A wide range of issues were explored. These included amongst others, help-seeking and oral health behaviour, sources of health information and attitudes to dentists and dental care. Given the major political change that has recently occurred in the country, the results of the survey suggest that these findings could profitably be used in future dental personnel planning as well as in the re-structuring of the health services that is currently taking place.
