Dental caries, prevention, fluoride, sealants, oral hygiene, children, adults.Abstract
Dental caries is one of the most common oral health problems worldwide, affecting both children and adults [1, 2, 3]. Preventive strategies play a crucial role in reducing the prevalence and severity of caries, thereby improving oral health outcomes [4, 5]. Modern preventive tools, such as fluoride toothpaste, dental sealants, antibacterial mouth rinses, and dietary counseling, have shown significant effectiveness in minimizing the risk of dental caries [1, 2, 4, 6]. This study examines the impact of these preventive measures on both pediatric and adult populations, highlighting their benefits, limitations, and practical applications in daily dental care [2, 3, 5]. The results emphasize that regular use of modern preventive tools, combined with proper oral hygiene education, significantly reduces the incidence of dental caries and promotes long-term oral health [4, 6, 8].
