Editorial

In January this year I took over the Editorship of Community Dental Health from my friend and colleague, Professor Denis O’Mullane. As Secretary of BASCD in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and then as a young academic, I was closely involved in establishing the Journal. So now at the end of my career it is a privilege and a great pleasure to become closely involved once again. In the early days we were grateful to the four UK based toothpaste companies, for their financial support, channelled through the Cosmetics, Toiletries and Perfumeries Association and its Secretary John Barker. Without that financial support the Journal would not have got off the ground. Subsequently, BASCD was joined by EADPH whose members’ contributions have increased the vitality of the Journal as Denis O’Mullane noted in his farewell editorial. At the recent EADPH meeting, in Constanta, Romania, I was impressed by the quality of the posters and supporting oral presentations in the epidemiology section. Contributions from Northern Russia, Albania, Greece and elsewhere made for an excellent session. We should acknowledge the contributions of Dominique Declerck, Roos Leroy, Zdenek Broukal, Robert Eichler, Rebecca Harris, Ken Eaton and others for promoting these increasing scientific standards through EADPH workshops.
