This scoping review examined the role of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in oral health interventions in school settings. It included eleven articles from various databases. While only one study specifically focused on CHW involvement, others involved teachers or peer learners. Interventions ranged from screenings to education. Outcomes included increased access to oral health services and improved oral health self-care. The review suggests potential benefits of integrating CHWs into school oral health interventions, emphasizing the need for further research in this area.
