This guidance from NICE makes recommendations on undertaking oral health needs assessments, developing a local strategy on oral health and delivering community-based interventions and activities.

The recommendations aim to:

  • improve oral hygiene
  • increase the availability of fluoride (note: water fluoridation is outside the scope of this guideline)
  • encourage people to go to the dentist regularly
  • increase access to dental services.
