Policy Statements
One of the goals of ÂÜÀòÉÙÅ® World Dental Federation is to develop and disseminate policies, standards and information related to all aspects of oral healthcare around the world. It does this through the publication of ÂÜÀòÉÙÅ® Policy Statements: declarations that lay out the current thinking on various issues related to oral health, oral health policies and the dental profession.
ÂÜÀòÉÙÅ® Policy Statements are put together through consultation, discussion and consensus amongst leading dental experts from around the world. Many statements are the result of projects carried out by ÂÜÀòÉÙÅ®'s Standing Committees, whilst others are produced in collaboration with organizations such as the World Health Organization.
