Gebitsslijtage en jongvolwassenen: wat weten ze en hoe wensen ze informatie [Dental erosion and young adults: what do they know and how would they like to receive information?]
article
Dental erosion occurs often among adolescents and young adults in the Netherlands. This problem requires attention because its consequences are irreversible. In this study (part of the ‘Dental Research and Practice in the North Netherlands’ project) a questionnaire was distributed to 331 young adults (age 20 to 25) from 25 dental practices. The goal of the study was to find out how much young adults know about dental erosion and how they wish to receive dental information. The results show that much is still unknown about dental erosion among young adults and that the extent of knowledge depended of the level of education and on information on dental erosion that had already been received. Participants preferred to receive information in a conversation with an oral healthcare professional, with the support of printed matter.
