The aim of the study is to explore "social practices" of oral health in Australian (Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal) preschool children. We use this emerging theory to move away from focusing on individuals and individual behaviour (and blame) to identify and map social practices: actions, materials and meanings families attribute to child’s oral health. Expected project outcomes include identifying practices promoting or undermining children’s oral health that can inform upstream and downstream policy directions and practices to improve health outcomes. This offers a new approach to "wicked" problems such as oral health where extensive effort has not reduced morbidity and cost despite rhetoric that oral health is preventable.

该研究的目的是探索澳大利亚（原住民和非原住民）学龄前儿童口腔健康的“社会实践”。我们利用这种新兴理论从关注个人和个人行为（和模糊）来识别和映射社会实践：家庭归因于社会实践： 孩子的口腔健康。预期的项目成果包括确定促进或破坏儿童口腔健康的做法，这些做法可以为上游和下游政策方向和实践提供信息，以改善健康状况。这为“邪恶”问题（例如口腔健康）提供了一种新的方法 努力并没有降低发病率和成本目的地的言论，即口腔健康是可以预防的。
