The study aims to investigate the role of school teachers in care navigation and signposting dental caries in primary school children.
Dental caries is a multifactorial disease with high prevalence in children. Dental caries is a global public health problem with detrimental impact in developing countries. Despite advances in caries management and detection poorer countries continue to suffer a high burden of disease. Advances in care navigation and sign-posting concepts are increasingly being utilized in general health care to aid early diagnosis and ease the burden of disease in poorer communities. This study aims to investigate the role of primary school teachers as care navigators with regard to dental caries in children.
