The movement, Action
for Dental Health: Dentists Making a Difference, was launched by the
American Dental Association in May 2013.
The program is a nationwide effort by grass-roots dentists to improve
dental health across the country. Among
the goals:
(1) improve access to
care for those who have active dental disease; (2) increase dental health
education and disease prevention in all communities in the U.S.; and (3)
increase use of the public health safety net to reach the nearly 1.3 million
residents in nursing homes with routine and emergency dental care.
For more information about this new, far-reaching program
and to read stories about successful efforts across the U.S., visit www.ADA.org and go to Action for Dental Health.
