Abstract:
Community pharmacies are health units that provide health services for population. This paper focused on assessing
behaviour, attitudes and knowledge of pharmacists in Bucharest, Romania regarding oral hygiene products and preventive
and pharmaceutical treatment for oral diseases. The results show the active role of pharmacists regarding health advice to
clients and their readiness to involve in health education of individuals to establish a standard of health care in community
pharmacies for the well-being of the society. Due to their direct interaction with patients, pharmacists are a valuable medical
information resource, therefore there is a need for further training on public health services, health promotion and primary
preventive measures.
