The link between a student's health and their ability to learn is well-established. Schools are the intersection of public health programs, dental care, and self-care. This position affords them a unique role and opportunity to enhance health literacy, including oral health literacy. This paper explores the potential of K-12 school programs and the dental profession to address oral health literacy, and, in so doing, provide future participants with essential skills to promote their oral health.
学生的健康与其学习能力之间的联系已得到充分证实。学校是公共卫生项目、牙科护理和自我保健的交汇点。这一地位赋予了它们独特的作用和机会来提高健康素养，包括口腔健康素养。本文探讨了从幼儿园到12年级的学校项目以及牙科专业在解决口腔健康素养方面的潜力，并在此过程中为未来的参与者提供促进其口腔健康的基本技能。
