Promoting equitable, culturally appropriate and affordable oral health care for everyone living in the United States

Examples of such policies and practices include community water fluoridation, the use of dental sealants and silver diamine fluoride, the inclusion of fully funded comprehensive oral health benefits in Medicare and Medicaid, and the addition of dental therapists to the oral healthcare provider team.
