| Research Abstract |
A questionnaire survey was conducted to compare health action taken to prevent tooth loss in urban and rural areas of Iwate prefecture. The results showed that a significantly higher percentage of residents were taking an action to prevent tooth loss in urban areas compared to rural areas. An online survey was also conducted of Iwate residents who regularly visited a dental office. Many of the residents who had been having regular dental checkups for more than 3 years indicated calculus removal as the main purpose of their visits.
