Oral Health Promotion Strategy 2016-21 (draft)
A consultation to improve oral health in Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset |
We have produced a draft strategy about how the four councils will make sure it is able to provide support and services to improve oral health for all people. |
Why We Are Consulting The draft strategy sets out what aim to achieve to improve oral health of all people. We would like to hear people’s views on our proposals to make sure that we use our resources most effectively. In particular, we are keen to hear the views of a wide range of people from carers of young children, young teens to older people and their carers, as well as those who may be/have been involved in supporting or providing oral health promotion to all people. To view the full draft strategy and supporting documents please see: https://consultations.southglos.gov.uk/consult.ti/oralhealthpromotion/consultationHome |
A team of oral public health professionals have drafted the strategy, developed from national guidelines -which themselves are based on firm evidence of what we know works. We have consulted widely among the professionals in public health and oral health (including dentists and dental practitioners) to ensure we maintain the right balance of activities to improve people’s oral health. |
