Improving access to dental care is vital for all individuals, especially those facing socioeconomic and racial disparities. Providing care in non-traditional settings like schools, nursing homes, and pharmacies can benefit patients, providers, and employers. It's time to break down barriers and think innovatively about oral health delivery methods. https://lnkd.in/ev9wFTFD #DentalCareForAll #HealthEquity

Oral cancer is often overlooked, but it affects many people in the U.S. every year. Early detection is crucial for a higher survival rate, but the lack of national screening policies and public awareness contributes to the rise in cases. However, there are steps individuals can take to prevent oral cancer, such as avoiding tobacco products, getting the HPV vaccine, and raising awareness about the disease. https://ow.ly/tPV650SoznK #OralHealthMonth #OralCancerAwareness #PreventionIsKey
