Strategies

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

Use payments, vouchers, and other incentives to encourage patients to undergo preventive care such as screenings, vaccinations, etc.

Support joint decision making between health care practitioners and patients through shared decision making (SDM); part of patient-centered care

Introduce or expand transportation options that are available to the public and run on a scheduled timetable (e.g., buses, trains, ferries, rapid transit, etc.)

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

Create financial incentives or remove financial disincentives to affect consumer choices and incentivize provision of cost efficient health care services
