Oral health education is one of the most neglected areas in Pakistani context as there are no such courses, training and or awareness session/ program at any academic or social levels. Considering the global scenario, it is observed that oral health is a part of school curriculum which leads to improved oral health situation in society. The current paper examines the potential for promoting oral health through school program offered by a Dental Institute of a public sector university in Pakistan.The program consists of three components namely students, teachers and parents. All three have been addressed through interactive session, material activities and awareness of oral health issues. The program developers run the program in a systematic way and complete the target in three sessions. This program has resulted into a very effective program after pilot study. It is expected that it would lead to community involvement, awareness, empowerment and networking which would provide strong oral health care foundation for the children of public sector schools in Pakistan.
