Edinburgh Community Food are delighted to be partnering with LINKnet Mentoring to offer a new project called Eat Well for Oral Health.

Eat Well for Oral Health is a community-based food skills and nutrition project to drive oral health improvements for all living in vulnerable circumstances and affected by socio-economic and race inequalities across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

It is designed to improve child, family - and targeted communities - oral health by sharing diet and nutrition knowledge and enhancing cooking skills and confidence using a community-based approach.

Our FREE 6 week cooking and nutrition courses help people gain confidence in cooking nutritious affordable meals and providing oral health awareness information.

Participants will learn how to:

- Cook nutritious meals to enjoy with others or take home
- Achieve a healthy balanced diet and understand how diet relates to oral health.

Participants will receive:

- Support and advice on oral health
- Guidance on how to access an NHS Dentist
- Free nutrition and oral health resources
