1. Assess the Burden of Dental Pain in Your Community
Assessing the burden of dental pain in your community to know its impact.
OVERVIEW
If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Before implementing the WDPP, a community needs to know the prevalence and impact of dental pain on a community or individual hospital level. Collecting this baseline data also establishes the baseline for monitoring and evaluating the impacts of the WDPP.
