Limited accessibility of oral health services, lack of health promotion and effective preventive programmes are associated with poor oral health across borders. Dental caries is easily preventable but remains one of the major cross-border oral health problems. Project implementation will mitigate the negative effects of lack of systematic preventive programs and insufficient utilization of professionals, which resulted in poor epidemiological situation. The established collaboration will increase knowledge and skills of dental professionals, upgrade the involved project stockholders’ knowledge, raise public awareness, and make dental health care services more accessible. The joint dental medicine training programme will enable professionals’ adaptation to increased needs and requirements for the project area’s oral care and the expansion of existing dental medicine professions’ role.

These target groups are identified: regional public authority, interest groups including NGOs, general public and public health institutions. All target groups at cross border inland and islands is in need of mobile dentistry due to the financial frameworks of 3 countries health systems who do not follow the preventive requirements although actively promoting preventive oral health care services results in long-term savings of oral health care by avoiding more costly dental procedures.
