Promotion of Health and Oral Care in Dentistry City

In Yokohama-shi, we work on business about promotion of Dentistry health, oral care so that citizens can keep dental and oral health throughout their lives.

Through the promotion of dental and oral health, the roles of citizens, dental care, stakeholders such as health care, and businesses, and the basics of Yokohama City so that citizens can spend a healthy and lively life through the promotion of dental and oral health Measures are established.

Toward the formulation of the "Yokohama City Dentistry Oral Health Promotion Plan (tentative name)" which will be the field-specific plan of the "Third Health Yokohama 21" starting in 2023, we have compiled the efforts to be made between 2021 and 2022.

We will implement periodontal disease health check-up with the aim of promoting the prevention and early detection of periodontal disease, which is a major cause of tooth loss, and to support healthy and comfortable life in the elderly.

Periodontal disease, the leading cause of tooth loss, is known to be closely related to systemic diseases such as lifestyle-related diseases.
