In some areas, Asian communities constitute a sizeable proportion of the population around a general dental practice, yet some have never been to a dentist in the whole of their lives. A significant number of others fail to visit a dentist regularly. This two-part article aims to clarify some of the issues relating to dental care of minority groups, with particular reference to Asian communities. An outline is given of some general and dental health issues which are of particular significance to dental practitioners, as they strive to provide continuous care to the whole population. Part 1 identifies dental health problems characteristic of British Asians, Part 2 will examine some of the barriers to care.
