This
presentation
was the opening session of the ADA Virtual Connect Conference on
Oct. 16,
2020.
Overview
We all agree you cannot be healthy without a healthy mouth
and that dental care is essential healthcare. But what does ‘essential’ really
mean? Is oral health really considered essential in state and federal health
policy? Given that U.S. health care reform will continue to be a major political
issue going forward, there are important issues and opportunities for the dental
care community to address. Hear how the ADA is proactively approaching this
issue of oral health being essential.
