Good health, including oral health, allows individuals and communities to live full lives, free from the burden of disease. Many professionals have the opportunity to promote better oral health and general health as part of their role. DHSV is pleased to offer a range of oral health resources to support this.
The fact sheets and guidelines below provide information for use by the general public, health professionals and community health service providers. They can be used for waiting rooms, chair side oral health promotion or other oral health promotion initiatives.
All are free to download and print. DHSV is not able to provide any of these resources in hard copy.
To give feedback on these resources, or to discuss your oral health promotion activity, contact the Health Promotion team on (03) 9341 1203, or email healthpromotion@dhsv.org.au.
