Oral health week.
This article reports on the Oral Health Week held in December 1994 and focuses on an initiative by the BDA which organised dentists and volunteers from Age Concern in a project to look at oral health for the elderly. It examines the aims and the results of the week and draws some useful conclusions on improving the outcome if a project such as this were attempted again.
