Challenges facing dental public health are complex and require multi-faceted approaches.

The session will highlight opportunities and challenges, drawing on the expertise of speakers currently working in the field.

- An understanding of methods and theories from social and behavioural sciences
- And how these can help advance our understanding of oral health and the potential to deliver more effective strategies for the complex challenges we face in dentistry.
