Improving Oral Health Through School-based Health Centers
School-based health centers are a critical resource for meeting the health and health care needs of at-risk children. Few school-based health centers provide a dental component. This panel will explore efforts to expand dental services through a project administered by the Center for Health and Health Care in Schools, an international perspective of school-based services in Denmark, and policy implications for wider implementation of dental services through this mechanism.
Learning Objectives: List approaches that are being used to provide dental services in school-based health centers. Describe the school-based model utilized in Denmark. Identify opportunites for policy changes to facilitate wider implementation of dental services in schol-based health centers.
