MySOMOI: An Interdisciplinary Platform that Promotes wholesome Oral Health

Abstract

As a customary practice, oral health promotion is often carried out by dentists themselves, whose practice are regulated by Act 51, Dental Act 1971 an act that ensures the safety of the patients in Malaysia. However, non-dentists who are working towards promoting good oral health practice are almost scarce or even nonexistent at the national level. Therefore, the idea to have an interdisciplinary platform for Oral Microbiologists and Oral Immunologists was mooted and eventually turned into the formation of the Malaysian Society of Oral Microbiologists and Oral Immunologists (MySOMOI) (https://mysomoi.org).
