Oral Health in America: Removing the Stains of Disparity

Are you aware of the stark disparities that exist in oral health care? Introducing "Oral Health in America: Removing the Stains of Disparity," a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the inequities faced by the poor, uninsured individuals, underserved communities, the disabled, and senior citizens. This must-read publication addresses critical issues in workforce development and explores the urgent need for a more racially and ethnically diverse oral health care system.

One of the key topics explored in this book is the use of dental therapists, a vital resource in bridging the gap in oral health care access. By advocating for the inclusion of dental therapists, we can expand the reach of affordable and quality oral health services to communities in need. Additionally, this book emphasizes the importance of public support through Medicaid, which can guarantee access to oral health care for millions of Americans. Together, we can build a system that promotes health justice for all.

"Oral Health in America" goes beyond a mere analysis of the problem; it offers viable solutions to ensure health equity. The authors, hailing from diverse backgrounds, provide unique experiences and cultural insights in each chapter. Their perspectives offer a comprehensive view of the issues faced by marginalized communities and propose actionable strategies for visionary leaders to adopt and implement.

Supported by the esteemed W.K. Kellogg Foundation and produced in partnership with Community Voices: Healthcare for the Underserved, a division of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine, this book is a collaborative effort of healthcare providers, philanthropists, policy analysts, and decision-makers. With their collective expertise, "Oral Health in America" aims to bring attention to the unnecessary pain and suffering caused by inequalities in oral health care.
