The London Borough of Hackney would like to commission Oral Health Prevention & Promotion Service.
Oral Health remains a challenge in Hackney and the impact of Covid-19 has been to increase existing inequalities. Poor oral health disproportionately affects communities who are socially and economically deprived. Oral health is essential to general health and well-being and greatly influences quality of life. Poor oral health is almost entirely preventable.
The new Oral Health Prevention and Promotion service will achieve better outcomes for residents without increasing resources through more effective targeting and closer partnership working with key stakeholders.
The service will deliver:
Greater awareness of how to maintain good oral health amongst children, vulnerable adults and older people
Improvement in oral health seeking behaviour in local communities
Improved oral health and reduction in dental decay, hospital visits and admissions for tooth extractions
Closer partnership working amongst local stakeholders to improve oral health, including collaborative working with the Local Dental Committee to disseminate information and increase take up of dental services
More effective targeting of the high risk groups such the Orthodox Jewish Community and care home and supported living residents.
The Service is aimed at Hackney and City of London early years and school age children, vulnerable and older adults as well as communities at higher risk of poor oral health.
