Abstract:
Health or disease status is the result of biological, behavioural, and social determinants. The components of health promotion focus specifically on these determinants. How the dissemination of fluoridated salt--a biological component of oral health promotion--interacts with both the determinants of health and the non-biological components of oral health promotion is discussed with respect to individual health behaviour, socio-economic health disparities, the physical and social environment, and the health education curriculum.
