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.
作为1988/89年开展的全国口腔健康调查的一部分，对南非不同人群的口腔健康知识以及对口腔健康和口腔保健的态度进行了调查。探讨了广泛的问题。其中包括寻求帮助和口腔健康行为、健康信息来源以及对牙医和牙科护理的态度。鉴于该国最近发生的重大政治变革，调查结果表明，这些研究结果可有效地用于未来的牙科人员规划以及当前正在进行的卫生服务重组。
