Description of Our Community: We are researching a model group who work as a team on children’s dental health. Here is some information about our target and interviewees: 1. Location: Dali Elementary School, Wanhua District, Taipei 2. Dental Health Group: Students and faculty from Dali Elementary School including the school dentist, Nurse Luo, teachers and administrators who help out with the project 3. Interviewees: Children’s dental health professionals (dentists and members from Taipei City Dental Association)
Project Description: The saying that prevention is better than cure might be a cliché but is absolutely true for dental health. Every one of us is supposed to be responsible for his or her own dental health since childhood. The high percentage of children’s tooth decay in Taiwan reminds us of how costly the dental problems will be in the future and how urgently dental health education needs to be done at the present. We are building up this website in the hope of educating children and adults to have proper knowledge about dental health before it is getting too late. It is our hope that not only parents and teachers would know how to teach children about dental heath, but children themselves would take good care of their dental health. Eventually, we are hoping to share our experience of dental heath education with the rest of the world on the Internet. For this project, we have recruited school children who are particularly concerned with dental health into our research team. They are in charge of promoting and demonstrating knowledge about tooth care. For the methodology, we have undertaken the project by doing a lot of literature review of dental health, face-to-face and telephone interviews, and some promotional activities about tooth care as well.
