Health policy proposal is based on two main postulates which serve as the guidelines: health care for the youngest population and preventive measures that will lead to improvement of oral health in the targeted segment of the society. There are excellent possibilities for a valid, exact and permanent evaluation of the objectives of the children’s oral health improvement policy. Potential favourable results of the implementation of the above health policy would have multiple benefits including not only the improvement of children’s oral health but also the reduction in the number of curative dental treatments – the treatments of dental caries and its complications, thus leading to cost-efficiency of the implemented health policy.

Key words: oral health, preventive measures, health policy
