title: Oral health week.
abstract: 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.
