Review of oral health services, 12–16 January 2013

Oral health is important to general health and quality of life. The Ministry of Health provides oral health services at all levels of care, including a preventive programme in schools aimed to promote good oral hygiene and prevent dental caries. A one-week WHO mission took place from 12 to 16 January 2013 to review the needs for oral health services. This mission was the first comprehensive assessment of the oral health needs beyond school-aged children in Oman and will pave the way to determining the human resources required for comprehensive oral health services.
