It is a multi-disciplinary organisation and enjoys the support of politicians from all parties. The aims of the society are as follows.

• To promote improvement of dental health by securing the optimum fluoride content of water supplies.
• To promote and co-ordinate medical, dental, educational, and administrative efforts to achieve this.
• To distribute information about dental health.
• To encourage the foundation of local branches to further the aims of the society.
