Dentists are convinced of the progress, which in October will give the possibility to Italian families to enjoy a free dental examination.
25 years from October is the month chosen by the ‘National Association of Italian Dentists ANDI, together with MENTADENT to organize a campaign of prevention of diseases of the oral cavity with free visits at participating dentists involved in the initiative.
Everyone is aware of the costs that the proper exercise professional dental means, and inevitably going to fall on the citizen-patient relationship by preventing socio-economic population groups most vulnerable to undergo dental treatment. On the other hand, the ASL distributed nationwide have great difficulties in providing adequate response to the expectations of these population groups.

Yet, among the branches of medicine, diseases of the oral cavity remain those with the largest index of predictability. Therefore, in this area, the moment estimate is of extreme importance.
The initiative made promptly by ANDI in the past 25 years, involving a growing number of volunteer dentists (860 in 1981, 10,400 in 2005), allowed to carry out up to now nearly four million visits free.
Surveys conducted each year have shown that the population involved has shown a marked improvement both in terms of knowledge from that of the habits and behavior of oral hygiene. Above all, the data collected about children are positive. Twelve in boys, in fact, the incidence of caries has dropped while the number of teeth being treated in adults decreased by 20 percent. They then went from 10 percent in 1996 to 26 percent in 2003 those who did not need any dental treatment.
But how to gain access to the preventive action requests from going? Toll free to set the appointment is 800600110: on the occasion of the visit will be delivered to the patient a kit for oral hygiene and fluoride treatment.
