Abstrakt: The Platform for Better Oral Health in Europe brings together five European organizations (Council of European Chief Dental Officers, Association for Dental Education in Europe, European Association of Dental Public Health, Pan European-International Association For Dental Research, Oral Health Foundation-UK) along with eighteen other associated European or national organizations. The platform aims to encourage oral health promotion and the prevention of oral diseases as fundamental components of good general health. The aim is thus to strengthen oral health promotion in Europe through integrating oral health into the relevant public health policies. It also aims to address the issue of oral health inequality, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents, older adults, and people with particular needs. The platform is therefore a European-level resource for providing evidence-based information on best practice in oral health promotion and for guiding oral health policies. It also works to reinforce communication at the European level between stakeholders, policy makers, health professionals, and the public, in order to improve awareness of oral health issues.
