Abstract
In 2019, a questionnaire study was started in which the experiences, barriers and needs of users of the Gewoon Gaaf caries prevention method were investigated. The survey was distributed via social media, an email list and the Dutch Ivory Cross newsletter. In total,188 people completed the survey. The results showed that the dental practices using this method are satisfied with it and that prevention assistants apply this method most often in practice, often in collaboration with a dental hygienist and/or a dentist. The participants reported positive experiences: the method provides clear tools for daily practice. However, there is a need to share knowledge and experiences with other oral healthcare providers, for example via digital modules or written information. One of the tips given by many users was to spend a lot of time motivating and educating parents. Users' tips derived from this research can be included in the further development of the method.
