| [ADEA]State Oral Health Programs: Strategic Direction to Meet Oral Health Needs | ||||||||
Sponsored by: ADEA | ||||||||
| Description: State oral health programs (SOHP) play a critical role in coordinating local, state, and federal resources to address oral disease burden. This symposium will highlight successful approaches that states have used to enhance their effectiveness, including the use of state oral health plans and oral health coalitions to direct dwindling resources. Participants will gain an understanding of how state programs and academic dental institutions can partner to develop comprehensive state oral health plans, use coalitions to implement best practices, seek legislative support, and explore and develop new opportunities for education, research and public health to reduce disease burden. Participants will learn about developments in state oral health program approaches and effective linkages with academic dental institutions; learn about opportunities to engage in collaboration and partnerships to address the need for diversity and access to care; and will discuss the state role in coordinating local, state, and federal resources | ||||||||
