Oral health affects people physically and psychologically and influences how they grow, enjoy life,
look, speak, chew, taste food and socialise, as well as their feelings of social well-being. Therefore,
the modern contemporary concepts of health suggest that oral health should be defined in general
physical, psychological and social well-being terms in relation to oral status [Acharya and Sangam,
2008; Sheiham, 2005; Petersen, 2003]. Oral diseases are the most frequent human infection
disease and are crucial public health problems especially because of their high treatment expense
[Yee, 2002]. In Germany, caries related problems cost approximately 10 billion € per year [KZBV,
2005]. However, the cost of neglect is even higher in terms of its financial, social and personal
impacts [Mouradian, 2000]. Oral disease is one of the most costly diet- and lifestyle-related
diseases [Sheiham, 2001]. Many oral health problems are preventable and their early onset
reversible. However, in several countries a considerable number of children, as well as their
parents and teachers have limited knowledge of the causes and prevention of oral disease
[Altamimi et al., 1998].
