This site provides a home for resources, teaching tools, program information and research articles on oral health and the Aboriginal child. This venture came about as a result of a forum that took place in Winnipeg, Canada in June 2007 called “Oral Health and the Aboriginal Child”. One of the outcomes of the forum was a compilation of resources related to improving oral health in Aboriginal children from various organizations and the development of a clearinghouse or knowledge transfer site to enable access to these specific resources; a “one-stop shop”.
Feel free to explore the site! We hope it will be helpful to you whether you are a parent, caregiver, health professional, and researcher or just interested in improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal children.
The resources are organized into the following categories:
- Articles and reports on Aboriginal child oral health from Australia, Canada, New Zealand/Aotearoa, and the United States.
- Community oral health promotion resources with Aboriginal content from Australia, Canada, New Zealand/Aotearoa, and the United States.
- Website links that contain oral health promotion with Aboriginal content from Australia, Canada, New Zealand/Aotearoa, and the United States.
