Implications of low dental awareness in Nigeria

Abstract

Key note address at the Biennial General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Nigerian Dental Association in April 2008: I congratulate the Nigerian Dental Association on this occasion of the 2008 Biennial General Meeting and Scientific Conference of the Association. In particular, I congratulate the Executive Committee for all they have done to ensure that the Association is actively involved in the professional activities of the Medical and Dental Counncil of Nigeria. I thank the Association for inviting me to be the Keynote Speaker at this meeting. I have been asked to speak on the title \'Implications of low dental awareness in Nigeria\'. As a community dentist, I reckon that this topic is coming at the right time. I intend to share my views on this stimulating topic with you all, hoping that at the end of the tunnel, there will be a light, a light for us to see brighter in the profession and to brighten the communities we serve.
