Basic research design: A scoping review was conducted, adhering to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: Scoping Reviews) checklist. A search strategy was developed using MeSH terms and key words, and used to search the following electronic databases: Medline\/PubMed, CINAHL, ProQuest Assia, Scopus, Web of Science and PsychNet. Key journals and reference lists were also hand-searched. Two reviewers then read the abstracts of all papers, excluding duplicates and papers that did not meet the eligibility criteria. The reviewers then read to full-texts of the studies to be included in the review. Results: Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. These studies were predominantly evaluations of community-based dental services or other oral health interventions. Several recommendations were extracted. Interventions should involve co-design with homeless service users; multidisciplinary working, collaboration with dental practitioners, and working with educational establishments. The location of community-based services was also found to be of importance. Conclusion: This review has highlighted several recommendations, as well as gaps in the literature. These gaps suggest a need for more non-clinical oral health interventions for the homeless population, and a closer look at the role that non-dental practitioners can play in the delivery of oral health care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1922\/cdh_00014beaton11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T22:25:43Z","timestamp":1783031143000},"page":"150-160","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Community-based oral health interventions for people experiencing homelessness: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"Beaton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DHSRU, School of Dentistry, University of Dundee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerry","family":"Humphris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical School, University of St Andrews"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DHSRU, School of Dentistry, University of Dundee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruth","family":"Freeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DHSRU, School of Dentistry, University of Dundee"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1364557032000119616"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Beaton L.
