Abstract
AbstractObjectiveThe history of oral health research and dental care provision for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples has been framed by oppressive colonial values and wrought with maltreatment and unethical behavior. This commentary aims to collate evidence regarding the healthy history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander oral health, the implications of colonization on oral health, and the current portrayal of oral health.ConclusionWe argue the need to reframe deficit focused discussions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander oral health to strengths‐based narratives by critically engaging with the ways in which the future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander oral health lies in the footprints of the past.
