Focuses on improving the oral health and nutritional status of Filipinos through a lifecycle approach. It provides preventive, curative, and promotive dental care services tailored to different age groups—from infants to older adults. Key initiatives include regular dental checkups, fluoride varnish applications, and health education campaigns in schools and communities. The program also addresses the interrelationship between oral health and nutrition, recognizing that poor oral health can affect nutritional intake, while inadequate nutrition can lead to oral health issues. By integrating oral health services with nutrition programs, the DOH aims to reduce the prevalence of dental caries and periodontal diseases, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for Filipinos.
