We aimed to develop and validate the effectiveness of a web-based learning module on oral health promotion among nursing and allied health professionals. METHODS We developed and validated an oral health module focused on prevention and promotion for a web-based intervention among nurses and allied health professionals. Pre- and post-test assessment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme. RESULTS Of a total of 347 participants, 170 (48.9%) had a good knowledge score in the pre-test, and after attending the oral health module their number increased to 267 (76.9%). The mean difference between the pre-test and post-test scores was statistically significant (p<0.005). CONCLUSIONS Training of nurses and allied health professionals on oral health through a web-based module showed improvement in oral health literacy.
