Description
This presentation will explore key factors that have contributed to the success of our school-based and maternal and child oral health programs. By sharing experiences, this presentation provides practical approaches and actionable strategies to implement oral health initiatives that engage communities, foster positive behaviour change, and enhance oral knowledge and skills. By prioritizing preventive measures and promoting sustainability, these programs have a transformative impact that are leaving a legacy of improved oral health.

Explain how to create supportive environments that can enhance oral health and address factors such as low health literacy and limited access to oral health care services in rural areas. 3.
