Reviewing service pathways Increase no. of children with no obvious caries experience in P1

This project aims to increase the number of children with no obvious tooth decay experience in P1 through various interventions such as water fluoridation, fluoride programs, tooth brushing campaigns, preventive dental treatment, and access to healthy food. It also focuses on reducing child poverty, improving educational attainment, reducing smoking rates in pregnancy, and involving parents and children in health initiatives. The challenge lies in measuring the impact of these interventions.
