Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future

The Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future (ACFF) is a worldwide group of experts who are working to stop the initiation and progression of dental caries, the disease leading to tooth decay and cavities. Their long term goal is to establish a Cavity-Free Future for individuals of all ages around the world. The ACFF believe that global, country and community leaders, along with organisations (such as public policy and education communities), health and dental health professionals, and the public need to work together to beat caries. Collaboration is key to ensuring co-ordination in providing prevention and management strategies to both dental professionals and the public, to help reduce the impact of caries. By working together on a global, regional and local level, the Alliance challenges these stakeholders to 'Stop Caries NOW for a Cavity-Free Future'.
