The social question is the term used in the post-industrial revolution period when the consequences of urbanization and modernity become visible. This term encompasses all the social problems caused by the large inequality gaps that exist to date. An obvious analogy can be made between the low provision in oral health matters by the State and the times in which the term social question was used.
dental and oral health is part of the social issue, since psychological, biological and social aspects play a role of great importance in relation to how we operate within society.
It should always be kept in mind that it is not enough to eradicate dental consequences such as caries, gingivitis, among others, we must look at the point of origin by which they are caused, in this way the conditions that cause ill health such as stigmatizations, illiteracy, misinformation and social inequality that is generally experienced in the poor or marginalized neighborhoods of the country.
I agree that it is not only treating caries lesions (in terms of vision and pain) but also eradicating the causes (problems) that affect society (mainly marginal) from the roots so that it does not continue to happen
ResponderEliminarI completely agree with you.

It would make our lives easier. At the same time, I understand that treating dental problems is very important.
