| As described in the “Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General” oral, dental and craniofacial diseases and disorders are among the most common health problems affecting the people of the U.S. Eliminating oral health disparities requires an understanding of the biology and lifestyle of an individual; it also must take into account the political, social and cultural environment where an individual lives. The panel will report on current research aimed at reducing oral health disparities, with special emphasis on children's oral health. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. Describe current research to reduce oral health disparities in children and their caregivers. 2. Identify strategies to translate research findings into practice. 3. Discuss cognitive-behavioral intervention strategies designed to reduce the public health burden of oral health disparities. | |||
