一项对50名成功的普通牙科医生的调查显示，他们都认为预防选定的病人对他们的实践是有价值的。他们说，预防提高了牙医的声誉，增加了牙医的工作满意度，是现代牙科哲学的一部分。然而，只有有选择地实践，它才会有成本效益。最受欢迎的预防性治疗方法是使用裂隙密封剂，特别是在选定的病人身上使用时，口腔卫生示范，以及在一群热心的牙医中进行饮食咨询。雇佣卫生员的牙医的“平均预防意识得分”明显高于没有雇佣卫生员的牙医。
An enquiry among 50 successful, general dental practitioners working under a capitation payment system for the treatment of children, showed that they all thought that prevention on selected patients was of value to their practice. They said that prevention enhances the reputation of the practice, adds to the job satisfaction of the dentist and is part of modern dental philosophy. However, only when practised selectively would it be cost: beneficial. The most popular preventive treatments were fissure sealants, particularly when used on selected patients, oral hygiene demonstrations and, among a group of enthusiastic dentists, dietary counselling. Dentists who employed hygienists had a significantly higher 'mean preventive awareness score' than those who did not.
