Our Original Charter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gather together today, August 3, 2011, in mutual respect and recognition at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., as a group focused on promoting peace and well-being through oral health. All professionals in the field of dentistry speak a common language\u2014the language of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that oral health professionals can indeed serve to bring people of diverse backgrounds together to collaborate in order to overcome political conflicts and continue to build \u201cBridges to Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to the vision of promoting peace and well-being among people all over the world through oral health, by creating a common understanding of the social, political, economic, and geo-environmental issues among students, educators, researchers, and all health professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alliance for Oral Health Across Borders will serve as a coordinating group that promotes, nurtures, and sponsors collaborations among oral health and health-related schools, companies, and organizations worldwide to achieve the following goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Promote peace through oral health as part of total health and the reduction of disparities;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Improve oral health by nurturing engagements among health professionals in order to develop an understanding of the myriad social, political, and other causes of conflicts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Develop leadership and advocacy programs to promote peace and well-being through oral health;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Provide dental students and educators with opportunities for exchange, ultimately familiarizing them with state-of-the-art technology and science in all disciplines of dentistry throughout different parts of the world; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote and facilitate international collaborative research among members of the Alliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
