How to Deal with Effects of Changes in Dental Health Services on Residents After Municipal Merger

我们对市、镇、村三级办事处、卫生院和居民进行了调查，了解市政合并后阻碍口腔卫生服务实施的问题。根据本次调查的结果，我们建议：(1)将口腔服务的重点从疾病预防转移到健康维护和促进；(2)考虑居民的意愿，将部分服务委托给私人医生；(3)建立卫生中心帮助负责人员提高专业素质的制度；(4)促使当地口腔协会制定培养有才华的咨询师和顾问的培训计划。

We surveyed city, town and village offices, health centers and residents to find out the problems that are blocking the way to the implementation of dental health services after the municipal merger. Based on the results of this survey, we had some suggestions to make :(1) to shift the emphasis of dental services from disease prevention to health maintenance and promotion ; (2) to entrust part of the services with private practitioners in consideration of residents' wishes ; (3) to establish a system that enables health centers to help the personnel in charge improve their quality as professionals : and (4) to make the local dental associations to prepare a training program of nurturing talented counselors and advisers.
