초록

국민건강보험공단에서 실시하는 영유아 건강검진은 5회의 일반검진과 2회의 구강검진으로 구성되어 있다. 하지만 9개월 영유아 건강검진 시 구강건강 상담 및 교육은 일반의사가 담당하도록 되어 있어 이를 주로 담당하게 될 소아청소년과의사의 구강건강 상담 항목에 대한 지식이 필요한 상황이다. 이번 조사의 목적은 소아청소년과 전문의나 전공의를 대상으로 영유아기 구강건강교육에 대한 인식도를 알아보는 것으로 150명의 설문을 분석해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 조사 대상자의 대부분은 유아기우식증으로 인한 치과 의뢰 경험이 있었고, 절반 이상의 응답자는 영유아 환자에 대해 구강검사를 시행하지 않고 있었다. 2. 조사 대상 소아청소년과의사들의 첫 치과방문 시기에 관한 적절한 인식도가 확립되지 않았다. 3. 영유아 건강검진 중 구강건강 교육 항목에 대한 인지도가 전반적으로 부족하였다. 이에 대한 교육의 강화가 필요하다. 4. 영유아 구강질환 예방을 위한 의과계의 관심과 더불어 치과계와의 협조가 필요하리라 생각 된다.

For prevention of ECC, the Korean Academy Of Pediatric Dentistry(KAPD) advocate that Children should be seen as early as 6 months of age after the first tooth erupts, or 12 months of age. Pediatrics have increased access to new mothers and children 6 to 12 months while dentists does not see young children unless there are urgent problems. Therefore, they have an opportunity to impact infant oral health care. This study's purpose was to examine pediatricians' awareness and experience about infant oral health care. For the study, we surveyed of 150 pediatricians in korea. The survey comprised 10 questions related to infant oral health care and the recommended age a child go for their first dental visit. The results were as follows: 1. Most respondents had been referred children to a dentist for treating ECC and more than half of respondents reported that they did not do oral examination in their practice. 2. The majority of surveyed pediatricians are not advising patients to see the dentist by 1 year of age. 3. The surveyed pediatrician's awareness of infant oral health care is insufficient. The oral health education should be reinforced. 4. There is a need for increased infant oral health care education in the medical and dental communities.
