The Department of Health (DH) will launch a new “Outreach Oral Health Programme for Pre-school Children (OOHP)” on September 1 this year to provide oral health services to pre-school children in all kindergartens in Hong Kong.

Oral healthcare during the earliest stage of life is extremely important. Establishing appropriate lifestyles during pre-school years helps children maintain lifelong oral and general health. The OOHP is a key component of the strategy of developing community-wide preventive primary oral healthcare, providing kindergarten students with free on-site oral screenings, oral health risk assessments and fluoride application as appropriate, as well as oral health reports for parents and individualised oral care advice. Additionally, participating organisations will conduct oral health talks for the teaching staff of kindergartens. These initiatives aim to encourage the public to improve their oral hygiene habits, thereby enhancing their oral health through the retention of teeth and eventually achieving the goal of overall good health and well-being.
