Watch the National Academies’ (NAS) November 3 recording, Sharing and Exchanging Ideas and Global Experiences on Community-engaged Approaches to Oral Health: A Workshop at the National Academy of Sciences, focused on the impact of social determinants of health on the oral health of under resourced communities. The recording demonstrates the link of poor oral health to other chronic diseases, which is one of the focuses of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs).
The Oral Health Alliance continues to encourage actions of the federal government and our Alliance members that link health professional efforts and communication messages advancing dietary and preventive oral health practices.
