The session “Oral health at a local level” invites reflection on the role of public policy and local governance in the promotion of oral health.

In a roundtable format, participants will discuss strategies to strengthen proximity and ensure equitable access to oral healthcare.

The debate will highlight the importance of coordination between local authorities, community services, and central government in implementing preventive and health literacy policies in oral health.

The session aims to foster an integrated and collaborative approach focused on reducing inequalities and achieving sustained improvements in the oral health of communities.
