The Massachusetts HPV Coalition’s Oral HPV Task Force developed our 1st edition of the HPV Dental Toolkit for dental offices in 2016. Since then, it has been downloaded and distributed thousands of times, adapted for use in over 7 states, and been included in the American Cancer Society’s National HPV Roundtable Action Guide.

We are now excited to present you with the latest edition of our Dental Toolkit. We have updated the materials to reflect the most recent HPV-related cancer research as well as incorporated patient and provider feedback.

The Toolkit Includes:

• Tips for talking to patients for dentists
• Brochures
• Prescription referral pads and pens
• Office posters

This toolkit for dental offices includes materials and resources that can be downloaded, reproduced, and distributed at no cost. Special thanks to the Academy of General Dentistry Foundation for supporting this project.
