Background

The National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM), through collaborative efforts between the Board on Children, Youth, and Families and the Board on Health Care Services, propose to undertake a study that will assess the current U.S. oral health system of care; explore its strengths, weaknesses and future challenges; describe a desired vision for the oral health care system; and recommend strategies to achieve that vision. The project will examine issues that affect underserved populations that are most vulnerable to oral disease and the safety net providers, both public and private, who serve them, with a specific focus on the provision of oral health services to women and children.

Sponsors: Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration (DHHS); California HealthCare Foundation
