title: [Dentists' opinion on the utility of a dental health education center].
abstract: Dentists' opinion on the utility of a dental health education centre was assessed. More than 80% of the dentists hold the opinion that such a centre is in the interest of both patients and dentists. The health education provided by the centre should, according to three quarters of the respondents, be directed to prevention and treatment; one quarter is in favor of health education directed to prevention only. The overall judgement on getting a second opinion is positive. Nevertheless, 22% judges asking for a second opinion as a sign of mistrust in one's own dentist. More than half of the dentists feel that a dental health education centre should be totally or partly financed by the Dutch Association of Dentists.
