A comprehensive school-based/linked dental program: an essential piece of the California access to care puzzle
J Calif Dent Assoc.
2012 Mar.
Abstract
California children suffer more from dental disease than any other chronic childhood disease. Disparities in access and oral health are disproportionately represented among children from minority and low-income families. A comprehensive school-based/linked dental program is one essential ingredient in addressing these problems. Described here are the goals, program elements, and challenges of building a seamless dental services system that could reduce barriers care, maximize resources, and employ best practices to improve oral health.
