Background:  Formative assessment of the rollout process of the California Oral Health Literacy (OHL) toolkit uses a mixed-methods approach. The OHL toolkit is an educational resource for dental professionals to improve communication with patients. This study was intended to obtain user feedback and suggestions for improvement. Methods:  This mixed-methods assessment of the OHL toolkit rollout included anonymous post-training surveys distributed at regional dental societies in California and 1:1 interviews with dental champions who would work with the research team on toolkit rollout. Anonymous and deidentified data were analyzed using R and Dedoose. Results:  From surveys (n = 37), the OHL toolkit components of highest interest to respondents were teach-back, increasing health literacy awareness among staff and learning to use plain language communication. Perceived implementation barriers were time constraints, insufficient staffing and a need for more training on communication techniques. Impressions, implementation prospects and recommendations for the OHL toolkit were obtained from qualitative interviews (n = 6). Overall, participants had positive impressions of the training presentation, OHL toolkit and implementation prospects. Conclusion:  This study identified interest areas and implementation barriers, data that can be used to further improve the OHL toolkit and reduce barriers faced by practitioners. Further assessments at clinician and patient levels will be helpful for outcomes evaluation. Practical implications:  The OHL toolkit is perceived positively by dental practitioners in California. Facilitators and barriers identified by dental providers and champions can be addressed through changes to the OHL toolkit and training. Rollout at the national level is being considered.
