Global Awards

Global Awards Initiative

The Alliance for Oral Health Across Borders is seeking proposals that display innovative oral healthcare research and clinical contributions that focus on underserved populations such as those with intellectual/physical disabilities or geographic location. Preference will be given to applications that integrate oral health with general health and projects that address oral health in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and infectious disease.

Program

Janet Wallace - Senior Smiles Project

Senior Smiles is a project that has developed an online preventive oral health program for older adults living in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACF) throughout Australia. The website encompasses a wide variety of resources for utilization by dental hygienists and qualified oral health therapists. The website has been created so that it can easily be modified for other special needs groups in the future.

The Alliance for Oral Health Across Borders Global Awards Program has funded creation of the Senior Smiles website in 2020. (www.seniorsmiles.org.au)
