My research is about caries disease in young children
and how caries preventive work is to be designed to prevent caries disease.

My research 

Caries prevention for young children

Dental health in Sweden has improved significantly in recent decades, but this improvement is not equally distributed in society. Children who grow up under socio-economically disadvantaged conditions are five times more likely to suffer from caries than children with better living conditions. Furthermore, in recent years the proportion of six-year-olds with caries disease is increasing nationally for the first time since the 1960s. In my research, I study the need for caries prevention in the population and how caries prevention should be designed to reach and act supportive for the children and families with the greatest need.
