ORA provides dental health information and guidance. It does not replace an examination or diagnosis by a dental professional. If you have severe swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or another medical emergency, seek urgent help.

EMERGENCY ADVICE

This ORA assistant for dental pain is based on the trusted Scottish Clinical Development Programme widely used during COVID. Updated March 2026.
It does not replace seeing a dentist, but it can offer useful guidance when you need help deciding what to do next. You may need a Google account to access Ora, the video link is on the teeth4life channel, and the podcast on the DHS podcast.

Health Beyond the Mouth

Small habits. Whole-health benefits.

Your mouth is part of your body, and many of the everyday habits that protect your oral health also support your general health.

Our aim is to signpost you to trustworthy health information and appropriately trained professionals. Small, achievable changes in areas such as diet, activity, smoking, sleep and self-care can build into healthier habits over time.

We Secure Your Dental Data

By openly sharing what works and what doesn’t, in both clinical care and technology

we can shape a Health Service that empowers people to be proactive and prevent the two most widespread — and avoidable — diseases.

We need a dental act that embraces innovation for 2026, not exacerbates health inequality.
