Location:
Join HSDM’s Dr. Catherine Hayes, chair of the Department of Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology and program director for the Doctor of Public Health (DPH) program, and Dr. Hawazin Elani, assistant professor in Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology, for a discussion on the complexities surrounding oral health equity, public health policies, and cutting-edge research.
Oral health equity is a vital concern, often overlooked by the public and policymakers. The link between oral health and overall health is inextricable; the mouth serves as a mirror to the body. Inequities in oral health frequently reflect broader health and societal disparities. Understanding oral health disparities empowers individuals and communities to advocate for policies and practices that foster equal access to dental care.
