Life course oral health investment

The previous Oral Health Strategy (2018–2021) focused on oral health promotion and prevention for 0–5-year-olds in Oldham. Following completion of an oral health needs assessment for the Oldham population in 2025, which identified oral health need across the life course, a strategic decision was made to expand current oral health promotion
activity based around 4 key areas: 0-5 years, vulnerable groups, the oral health/ food environment and the oral health system. This paper outlines recommended evidencebased oral health promotion activity in line with the newly established Life Course approach.
