Insights into Prioritization Challenges and Stakeholder Dynamics in European Oral Health Policy

Posted: December 19, 2024
The article explores the prioritization challenges in oral health policy in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. It emphasizes the focus on accessibility of dental care for vulnerable groups through localized programs and supply-side adaptations. Quality management interventions, particularly in Germany, were highlighted. The study reveals that political attention, stakeholder influence, and bureaucratic justification drive policy choices. However, complex negotiations and limited data hinder prioritization. The dominance of incremental services over comprehensive reforms and struggles to balance public resources and private sector interests create bottlenecks in oral health policy progression. The findings aim to guide policymakers and researchers in understanding stakeholder roles and overcoming barriers to enhance oral health care systems.
