Brushing Up on Prevention: Why Improving the Nation’s Oral Health Can Unlock Benefits for the Economy and Society
29th September 2025

Room 1C, ACC Liverpool
Oral health is often overlooked in wider health policy, yet it plays a vital role in overall health and wellbeing. With NHS dentistry still facing substantial challenges, this session explores how oral health can be better integrated into the NHS and community care, closing gaps in health outcomes and ensuring it is recognised as a core part of preventative care. Doing so will have a significant impact on individuals, society, and the economy.
