The Platform for Better Oral Health in Europe is seeking views on their draft European targets in a consultation that runs until December this year. The targets are intended to serve as a basis to benchmark EU Member States' progress towards increased prevention of oral diseases and improved oral health in Europe by 2020.

The targets specifically address the issues of improving collection systems, preventive policies, and education and awareness. The platform hopes to involve stakeholders and professional associations across member states in helping to further refine and focus the proposed targets.
