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.
