The Community Dental Services of Barts Health NHS Trust in City and Hackney and Tower Hamlets PCTs in East London have provided a school-based oral health intervention since 2009.
The aim of this paper is to present the programme development, outcomes and evaluation.
The programme consists of fluoride varnish (FV) applications linked to school dental screenings for three- to six-year-olds, combined with oral health promotion for parents/carers. An outreach linkworker works closely with schools to help identify and support vulnerable families into the programme.
In the first year of the programme 160 of the target children (42%) had one FV application and 81 children (21%) had two applications. In the second year 149 children (39%) had one FV application, and 113 (29%) had two applications. Amendments to the protocol increased programme participation in the third year, with 1,822 of the target children (61%) having one FV application and 1,586 (53%) having two applications.
The programme proved acceptable to the school staff, participating parents/carers and children. The Happy Teeth programme is proposed as a model for school-based fluoride varnish programmes.
自2009年以来,位于伦敦市的巴茨健康国民保健服务信托基金社区牙科服务中心以及东伦敦哈克尼和陶尔哈姆莱茨初级保健信托基金提供了一项以学校为基础的口腔健康干预措施。
本文旨在介绍该项目的开展情况、成果及评估。
该项目包括为三至六岁儿童在学校进行牙科检查时涂抹氟化物漆(FV),并为家长/照顾者开展口腔健康促进活动。一名外展联络人员与学校密切合作,帮助识别并支持弱势家庭参与该项目。
在项目的第一年,160名目标儿童(42%)接受了一次FV涂抹,81名儿童(21%)接受了两次涂抹。第二年,149名儿童(39%)接受了一次FV涂抹,113名(29%)接受了两次涂抹。方案修订后,第三年项目参与度有所提高,1822名目标儿童(61%)接受了一次FV涂抹,1586名(53%)接受了两次涂抹。
该项目被学校工作人员、参与的家长/照顾者和儿童所接受。“快乐牙齿”项目被提议作为以学校为基础的氟化物漆项目的典范。
