Abstract
Oral health is a critical component to overall quality of life. Recommendations and guidelines for oral health continue to evolve while remaining underutilized worldwide. Still, oral healthcare parity and equity are achievable. This public health priority must be supported with stronger research, service delivery must be equitable and transparent, and the impact of oral healthcare must be fully understood. Data, surveillance, evidence and translation must be improved for oral health specialties as well as for greater global governance. Further, interdisciplinary coordination between orthodontic, dentistry, medical, biotechnology and research organizations must be prioritized. With dedication and consistent approach, oral healthcare can achieve the best outcomes for quality of life and cost effective public health.Entities:
