The Oral Health Atlas: Mapping a Neglected Global Health Issue
Oral health is an integral part of general health and wellbeing. However, 90% of the world's population have experienced oral or dental problems in their lifetime! Despite its importance for individuals and health systems, oral health is still a neglected area in both national and international health and politics.
The Atlas of Oral Health puts the facts about oral health on the table, highlights the extent of the problems worldwide and suggests realistic individual and population-wide solutions. The unique combination of short texts, maps, charts and graphics presents complex statistics and facts in an intuitive, easy to understand visual format, complemented by extensive tables of global oral health data and a reference section. The Atlas of Oral Health will be a valuable resource for dental practitioners, public health experts, policy makers, and anyone interested in oral health.
