Community pharmacists and pharmacy staff were interested in an expanded role in DOHC; however, this scoping review identified lack of knowledge and sub-optimal practice as potential barriers. Research on development, implementation and evaluation of DOHC-related services and practice by pharmacy staff was scarce. Further evidence of consumer-related oral health outcomes and their perceptions of the role of pharmacy is needed.
