Dental Caries and Overall Health
The Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future sees the fight against the initiation and progression of dental caries (across the life course) as part of the overall fight for better oral and whole-body health. By reducing the initiation and progression of dental caries it will:
- Reduce the inequitable burden of caries/cavities (the most prevalent NCD)
- Improve oral health
- Improve overall health
Making Cavities History
In 2020 the Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future formed the ACFF Taskforce as a working group, focused on ensuring that caries is brought into focus within international healthcare discussion.
In March 2021 the ACFF Taskforce published A Global Consensus for achieving a dental cavity-free future. This paper aims to determine the optimal mix of measures which, if adopted by policy makers, will ensure an effective cycle of caries prevention and management within healthcare, and offer the best opportunities to see improvements in oral and overall health.
The ACFF Taskforce hopes that this paper will bring alignment to dentistry and will become a key step towards our goal of making cavities history.
