Oral health education and promotion measures

Population	Measures
Adolescents	Schools can play an important role in promoting oral health education by including it in the curriculum. Topics related to oral health and creating healthy environments, such as healthy eating, no sugar, tobacco, or alcohol, and encouraging oral hygiene after meals, can be added. Additionally, the parents can be involved in oral health promotion activities.
Parents	The workplace can also play an important role in disseminating oral health education measures and also creating healthy environments such as nutritional and low sugar meals in canteens or anti-smoking campaigns. This will provide opportunities for those with low levels of oral literacy to increase their knowledge and can therefore contribute to reducing oral health disparities.
Parents/adolescents	The National Health Services should provide a free consultation with a dentist to unemployed parents and adolescents so that they can maintain their oral health levels and not allow deterioration during their unemployment period.
