When planning the contents of health education, one actually has to include the habit of amalgam, the factor in influencing on dental health as well as show an example such as how to brush teeth, checking point of proper brushing, how to grip toothbrush. The attitude score related to dental heath was 71.2 points out of 100 points, relatively low. Consequently, the change of attitude related the dental health among entire adults is necessary, particularily, the strategical approach is essential to change dental health connected to attitude positively for groups of male, having high school education background, office workers and the civil service. Besides, among dental health related symtoms, more that 30-40％ of objects showed negative attitude toward as the following cases; in case that plaque or food debris are attached to the teeth (40.8％), upper and lower teeth do not fit together(40.3％), you cannot sleep well because of toothache(31.0％), more than one tooth fall out(31.0％), you have loosing teeth(30.6％), the approach should be conducted to form attitude that dental care is necessry. The state of dental health through dental health related symtoms was 33.3 points out of 100 points, which was fairly satisfactory. However, dental treatment for the state of dental health should be executed in case of comparison of the dental health state according to general characteristics, the group who are above 60 years old, have elementary school education background, engage in aggriculture who are not good in dental health state as opposed to other groups. Furthermore, there should be dental care needs according to dental health related symtoms, particularly, more than 60-70％ of objects have experienced symtoms that plaque or food debris attached to the teeth, tartar is on the teeth so dental treatment should be peformed for a large number of adults. In addition, for the people who have indications that there was a cavity, more than one tooth loss, chilled teeth, toothache when chewing, loose teeth, upper and lower teeth do not fit together, you cannnt sleep well due to the toothach, etc, there should be care through dental treatment. The actual conditions of the hygine of the mouth was relatively good and the difference of the actual state of dental health care in terms of general characteristics showed in only gender; female was more careful in dental health. Comparing the state of oral health synthetically, when they have symtoms, only 34.8％ of objects go to a dentist, 60.7％ are using passive or negative care such as gargling, tolerating or ignoring. There was many symtoms to care through dental therapy such as plaque or food debris get in between the teeth, tartar on the teeth, teeth are very cold, more than one tooth fallout, loose teeth, there is wrong amalgam, and so on, among symtoms to care passively or negatively. Therefore the education for proper treatment program should be performed. As a result of dental health-related knowlege, attitude, health state, verification of correlation between the actual condition of care, the higher the dental heath-related knowldege becomes, the more positive the dental health-related attitude is, and the state of dental health, that is, the standard of the symtom of dental health diminishes. the care for dental health executed through more active method and the more positive dental health-related attitude is, the more active means they performed. Consequently, the high level of dental health-related knowledge should be necessary, the more positive the dental health-related attitude was, the more active method they adopted, therefore, the program is needed to form attitude related to the dental health positively. As the knowledge on dental health is increasing, the attitude is also positive, after all, the plan to increase the standard of knowledge on dental health should be contrived through education program related to dental health.

섭식 연하장애는 수술이나 치료로 인한 기질적 원인, 뇌혈관장애나 뇌성마비, 근육이나 신경장애 등으로 인한 기능적 원인, 그리고 거식증이나 폭식증과 같은 심리적 원인에 의해 발생할 수 있다. 치과의원급에서는 주로 음식물의 인식장애 단계부터 인두로의 전달장애 단계까지의 환자에게 적극적으로 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 그 방법으로는 치의학적 전문지식을 바탕으로 환자의 섭식, 저작과정을 주의 깊게 관찰하여 문제점을 파악하여 각 단계에 적절한 기초 훈련과 섭식 훈련을 실시하는 것이며, 또한 필요시 혀 접촉 보조장치와 같은 장치를 제작하여 환자에게 장착시키고 섭식, 연하 훈련을 시행하여 환자의 연하능력을 개선시켜줄 수 있다. 하지만 무엇보다 가장 중요한 것은 환자가 식전과 식후에 엄격한 구강관리를 시행할 수 있도록 잘 지도하고, 치과의 정기적 방문과 전문적 관리를 통해 구강내 저작기관의 해부학적, 기능적 문제점을 해결해 주도록 하며, 이 때 마다 심리적으로도 환자가 섭식, 연하에 문제가 없도록 세심하게 설명하고 상담해 주는 것으로, 이는 모두 치과의사의 책무라고 할 수 있다.
