Dentistry today is a profession which is facing several challenges: -Oral health is less good than thirty years ago, especially in thelow social-economic level countries and emerging countries. -A reduced or poorly distributed number of professionals, which necessarily implies unequal access to care. -Multiple social determinants which are more and more impacting oral health. To tackle these challenges, WHO launched the WHO Global Oral Health strategy which it goal is to guide Member States to: -develop ambitious national responses to promote oral health -reduce oral diseases, other oral conditions and oral health inequalities -strengthen efforts to address oral diseases and conditions as part of universal health coverage; and consider the development of targets and indicators, based on national and subnational contexts, building on the guidance to be provided by the WHO global action plan 2023-2030 on oral health.
如今，牙医学面临着以下几个挑战：
口腔健康状况不如三十年前，尤其是在低社会经济水平国家和新兴国家。
专业人员数量减少或分布不均，这必然导致医疗服务的不平等。
越来越多的多种社会决定因素对口腔健康产生影响。
为了应对这些挑战，世界卫生组织（WHO）发布了全球口腔健康战略，旨在指导会员国：
制定促进口腔健康的雄心勃勃的国家对策；
减少口腔疾病、其他口腔状况和口腔健康不平等；
加强努力，将口腔疾病和状况作为全民健康覆盖的一部分加以解决；并考虑根据国家和次国家情况制定目标和指标，同时借鉴世卫组织 2023-2030 年口腔健康全球行动计划提供的指导。
