Popis: Oral health at children and teenagers has been acknowledged as a priority in the areas and countries which have been encouraged to develop preventive approaches by means of sanitary education in schools, by means of partnerships between families, schools, professionals in the field of oral health, as well as the improvement of access to oral health preventive and curative services.The study was conducted in order to identify and quantify the dental aspects in relation to the children’s oral-dental health. The study was conducted on a lot of 145 children aged between 8 and 12, educated within two schools: “Secondary School” from Visani locality and “Constantin Angelescu” high-school from Ianca town, Braila county. With regard to the children’s addressability to dental medical services, the reason of a visit to the dentist was dental pain for a large part of them, while the frequency of visits varies depending on the environment of origin. Thus, subjects from the rural area see the dentist once a year or not even once, while subjects from the urban area visit the dentist only when they have problems.
