Currently, Eastern European countries, but especially Romania, are in the last place in Europe in terms of oral health. There are studies that state that 80% of Romanians have dental problems, and the consumption of oral hygiene products is below the European average. Romanians are not used to regularly going to the dentist and are not aware of the benefits of preventive check-ups. Oral pathology is closely correlated with chronic diseases, they share common risk factors and there is a bidirectional determinism between them. The WHO recommends "integrating oral health into general health promotion strategies and assessing oral health needs through socio-dental approaches". Thus, it is necessary to develop a prophylactic dental screening program in kindergartens and schools. At the same time, it is necessary to raise awareness and make society responsible for diagnosis and early medical intervention and for the importance of recovery therapies. Healthy habits start from childhood, parents have the decisive role, then education should continue in kindergartens and schools. It is the obligation of parents, educators, teachers and also of the governors that the education given includes in one way or another the benefits of prophylactic dental control but also to facilitate the population's access to these services. By sensitizing public opinion, habits can be created to change people's attitude towards early diagnosis, and thus significant improvements in the situation can be achieved. The proposed initiative is part of the strategy of the National Institute for Mother and Child Health "Alessandrescu-Rusescu" Bucharest which is the technical-methodological body of the Ministry of Health in the 2 fields (mother and child health) and involved in health education (health promotion). The main conclusion of the study can be narrowed down to the idea that health policies must be realistic and sustained over time, in order to achieve the desired results on the health and quality of life of the population.
