Strategies

Restrict alcohol availability and use at sporting events, other public events (e.g., concerts and street fairs) and in public spaces such as parks and beaches

Limit the days alcohol can be sold in on-premise settings such as bars and restaurants or in off-premise outlets such as liquor and convenience stores; sometimes with limits to times of sale

Limit increases in the number and concentration of alcohol outlets by area or by population through licensing or zoning regulations

Expand the role of allied dental professionals (e.g., hygienists, therapists, etc.) via changes to statute, dentist supervision requirements, etc.

Restrict alcohol consumption anywhere on a college or university campus or only in specific areas (e.g., residence halls)

Adjust and monitor fluoride levels in public water supplies to reach and retain optimal fluoride concentrations

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly

Provide sealants, fluoride treatment, screening, and other preventive dental care on school grounds via partnerships with dental professionals
