Abstract:

Currently, oral health field in our country faces numerous challenges, such as the persistently high prevalence of oral diseases, the heavy burden on medical insurance payments and there are significant regional differences in the level of dental care, so far the full medical equity across society has not yet been achieved. Health management is a key strategy to cope with these challenges. Health management consists of four components: information collection, risk factor assessment, health education and health intervention.The collection of information is the foundation of health education and health interventions. Effective health education and interventions, in turn, promote the conduct of information collection. Health management and medical care overlap in terms of service recipient, practitioner, location, and means of service, but there are different goal, focus point, service model and time span between them. The real rise of health management in our country has appeared since the year 2000. The oral health management is just beginning in our country. It is of significant realistic importance to set up an oral health system in China. It is recommended to carry out top-level design for oral health management and promote its progress from four aspects: changing concepts, cultivating talent, strengthening policy intervention and developing appropriate technique.
