individuals
 Obstacles: Resources

Require financial support

“Its hard to implement oral health

promotion in the clinic since
promotions needs additional
financial support ”

—Nurse
 Obstacles: Resources

Time consuming

“We are dealing with a large number of

patients every day and we are already
preoccupied with treating our patients
and administering vaccinations, all of
that already consumes a lot of time”

—Physician 1
 Obstacles: Resources

Require promotion strategies

“Using interactive digital interventions

can enhance oral health knowledge and
modify oral health behaviors, which is
one of the primary approaches to
reducing oral health burdens”

—Dental Assistant
 Obstacles: Health care provider

Extra workload

“One of the barriers of implementing

oral health promotion in vaccination
clinics is that there is no enough time,
and health care providers can’t manage
to have extra workload”

—Nurse
 Obstacles: Health care provider

Lack of knowledge

“I think applying oral promotions in

vaccination clinic requires more experienced
physicians. And unfortunately, physicians or
general medicine graduates do not get
enough education and knowledge about oral
health ”

—Physician 1
 Obstacles: Health care provider

Limited availability in vaccination clinic

“There is a significant burden on

physicians, nurses, and dentists who are
treating other diseases in their clinics,
which can also be exacerbated by dental
problems”

—Health Maneger
 Obstacles: Society

Lack of interest

“As compared to adults and the elderly who

might reject or be uninterested in new
information, children and adolescents are
amenable to new information, and healthy
oral habits are more effective the earlier they
are established”

—Dental Asistance
 Obstacles: Society

Beliefs

“Some people are afraid of getting a

vaccination and the same goes for
checkups at dental clinics, both places can
be stressful at times, especially considering
how invasive the procedures are”

—Nurse
 Obstacles: Society

Lack of access

“People living in poverty, those

who are socially marginalized,
and the elderly are most
susceptible to oral diseases and
lack access to dental care”
—Dental Assitance

Question 1
What do you think about the importance of
oral health in young patients?
Dental assistant:
The most unmet health care need among children
and adolescents is oral health care. It has become
increasingly evident that poor oral health
contributes to a variety of diseases, including
diabetes and coronary artery disease. Moreover, if a
basic cavity is not treated appropriately, it can cause
significant pain, poor school performance, or even
death (via airway infections or brain infections)

important because if it was neglected the
patient will face serious and painful
complications

 Interview questions

Question 2
Do you think that awareness of oral health is
neglected? Why do we need to consider
about it?
Dental assistant:
An individual's oral health is an integral part of their overall health and an asset. The topic of oral health
has always been neglected. People have underestimated the consequences of poor oral health, resulting
in more serious problems that are difficult to treat later in life. Education plays a significant role in
determining one's level of awareness regarding one's Oro-dental health. It is therefore imperative that
dental professionals spread awareness about oral hygiene and dental health. It is necessary to extend
this approach beyond the clinics through a variety of outreach programs in areas where oral health care
facilities are less accessible. Media can also serve as a tool for educating the public and motivating them
to visit a dentist on a regular basis. The knowledge of oral health is considered to be an essential
prerequisite for health-related behavior. Most people are unaware of the connection between oral
hygiene and systemic diseases. Numerous diseases first manifest through oral signs and symptoms, thus
going undiagnosed or untreated as a result of this lack of awareness. Consequently, there is a dire need
for comprehensive educational programs to promote effective oral hygiene and provide information on
correct oral hygiene practices.

Interview questions

Question 3
Do you think it is important to implement
oral health promotion in vaccination clinics?
Physician 1:
It is not important, it is a vaccination center,
no need to confuse the patient and annoy the
patient, and wasting the time of the patient,
and avoid crowding
Interview questions

Question 3
Do you think it is important to implement
oral health promotion in vaccination clinics?
Physician 2:
Almost all children at one point will get their
vaccine, so it is better to put oral health
programs in vaccines clinic to realize of
importance of oral health
Interview questions

Question 3
Do you think it is important to implement
oral health promotion in vaccination clinics?
Dentist:
Yes, good oral health reduces the possibility
of some oral complications after receiving
vaccines, including Oral Paresthesia, which is
an unpleasant sensation of tingling or feeling
of tongue swelling

Question 3
Do you think it is important to implement
oral health promotion in vaccination clinics?
Health manager:
Yes, it would be nicer, but difficult to
implement
Interview questions

Question 3
Do you think it is important to implement
oral health promotion in vaccination clinics?
Dental assistant:
If oral health promotion were implemented in vaccination
clinics, I believe it would not reach a greater population level
than it would in other settings. Digital media, for example,
plays a pivotal role in improving health and as digital media
access continues to expand, it will become an increasingly
valuable health resource in areas lacking health expertise.
Using interactive digital interventions can enhance oral
health knowledge and modify oral health behaviors, which is
one of the primary approaches to reducing oral health
burdens

Question 4
Are you ready to implement oral health
promotion in your clinic?

promotion in the clinic since promotions
needs additional financial support and we
need more workers to do new ideas and
strategies for promotions
 Interview questions

Question 4
Are you ready to implement oral health
promotion in your clinic?
Physician 1:
No, implementing such program needs an
accurate plan, effective steps to apply the
program without causing harm or
inconvenience to the patients. Also, most
importantly it requires cooperation from both
sides, health care providers including
physicians and nurses, and parents

consuming
 Interview questions

Question 4
Are you ready to implement oral health
promotion in your clinic?
Dental assistant:
I am prepared to introduce oral health promotion in the clinic. My
role is to assist patients in making healthy choices to reduce the
occurrence of preventable oral complications. I would implement
evidence-based strategies and interventions that would promote
preventive health care. For example, visual aids, such as videos, the
internet, or DVDs, can enhance client understanding of oral hygiene
instructions. In addition, dental plaque biofilm control techniques can
also be demonstrated on models before intraoral demonstrations
