title: Oral Healthcare Implications of Mass Migration.
abstract: Population movements, whether voluntary or forced, are an integral part of an increasingly globalized society and, while the health needs of migrant populations cannot be generalized, some migrants can have worse oral health outcomes compared with their host-country counterparts, with their first dental contact typically being for emergency care. Failure to provide immediately necessary treatment may be unlawful under the Human Rights Act 1998. CPD/Clinical Relevance: NHS dental services need to evolve and address the challenges inherent in caring for vulnerable migrants. Education and appropriate training needs to be developed for the dental profession in order to enable new ways of promoting intersectoral care and community engagement.
