Introduction. In the medical aspect, health is a holistic approach to the physical condition of a person in the totality of his physical and mental well–being. At the same time, in practical (clinical) medicine, the following are still used: the final approach (at first the doctor deals with the patient's illness and only eventually with his recovery / health) and the parametric approach (the assessment of the state of health is based on the parameters of the analyzes as a result of treatment). Accordingly, most special educational medical disciplines are devoted to the study of diseases. Today, pedagogical training of doctors is becoming relevant, which expands the medical aspects of considering human health.
The purpose of the study is to substantiate the pedagogical aspect of considering health in the professional training of future doctors.
The results of the study and their discussion. The medical and dental aspect of human health is multifaceted. Clinical and surgical dentistry is generally used for diseases of the hard tissues of the teeth, diseases of the jaws and oral cavity. Dentistry is associated with a number of related medical specialties, from maxillofacial surgery to psychotherapy and hygiene.
At the same time, in dentistry, health is associated with its multifaceted socio-cultural understanding, which can be revealed in a cycle of pedagogical disciplines. Here, health is embodied in good physical well-being (for example, in the normalization of digestion), in physical strength (maintaining high motor activity), in mental balance and stability. The aesthetic aspect of health is undoubtedly important, since it is associated with maintaining the beauty of the face at different ages. The socio-cultural aspect is pronounced, since a person's image largely depends on his beautiful appearance, face and self-confidence. With the health of the maxillofacial apparatus, the communicative aspect of personal behavior is fully realized (for example, good diction). In general, the mood improves, a positive outlook on the world develops, and the overall potential of human vitality increases.
Conclusion. Thus, human dental health in the pedagogical aspect turns out to be a multifaceted phenomenon and has not yet been sufficiently studied. Such questions can be effectively developed in medical education.
