Two
important oral health policy concerns in the United States are
disparities in the oral disease burden and the inability of certain
segments of the population to access oral health care. Both of these
challenges are largely due to socioeconomic stratification in US
society. As a consequence of the release of the surgeon generala (TM)s
report on oral health, there has been a call to action to improve the
oral health of underprivileged groups who have difficulty accessing
dental services. But in contrast to the extensive national attention
focused on childrena (TM)s oral health in recent years, Americaa (TM)s
growing elderly population has received relatively little attention and
almost no public health or public policy intervention.DOWNLOAD
