Oral Health Score for Children^©

The children's version of the Oral Heath Score for Children© is also an innovative methodology for reviewing the oral health of your younger patient's teeth and mouth, giving you a consistent base against which you can measure the effectiveness of your care over time.

The system acts as a prompt for you to undertake a defined assessment of your younger patients' mouths. The oral assessment looks at eight factors:

• active caries
• oral cleanliness
• gingival health
• erosion
• trauma
• malocclusion
• aesthetics
• sepsis.

These factors are weighted in three bands according to the younger patients' age:

• 0 to 5 years
• 6 to 11 years
• 12 to 18 years.

Denplan provides you with special Oral Health Score for Children^© training and specific materials when you join the programme.
