The vision of the Oral Health SIG is good oral health for all. It is governed, and actions overseen, by the British Association for the Study of Community Dentistry (BASCD), in partnership with the FPH. BASCD is focused on oral health improvement, epidemiology, teaching and training, research, dental services, member resources and the provision of member conferences and meetings. Further details on their work can be found on the BASCD website.
The Memorandum of Understanding between BASCD and FPH can be found here.
