The purpose of the service is to improve oral health by working
with individuals, partners and communities to deliver programmes
that meet local needs and have a positive impact on improving
oral health and reducing health inequalities.
Services include co-coordinating programmes to improve
access to dental care and maintaining a variety of programmes
which aim to provide education and the means to improve self care
habits for different groups in the population. Most aim to
increase the availability of fluoride using a variety of
vehicles.
Key partners include other health care workers, with particular
focus on those providing primary dental care, community nurses,
education and social care workers and the wider Manchester Public
Health Development Service.
The team do not provide a clinical service, except in the
application of fluoride varnish as part of community level
interventions.
