Oral Health Equity

Oral health equity means that everyone has fair and just access to dental care and resources, regardless of their background, income, or where they live. It aims to reduce disparities so that all individuals can maintain healthy teeth and gums, preventing pain, infections, and other serious health problems. Achieving oral health equity involves addressing barriers like affordability, education, and availability of services, ensuring that no one is left behind because of socioeconomic factors or location. It promotes fairness in oral health outcomes for all members of our community.
