Children's Oral Health Equity and Promotion Practices

Poor oral health has been linked with negative child health outcomes, including early childhood dental caries (ECC), a leading public health concern for the WHO Resolution on Oral Health and Healthy People 2030. Health inequities put disadvantaged, and racial and ethnic minority children at a higher risk for developing ECC. The nursing profession has the opportunity to play a leadership role to promote oral health equity through appropriate health promotion and disease prevention "best practices". This webinar will discuss recommended oral health practices to tackle ECC, as well as explore strategies to promote oral health equity related to race and ethnicity, access, and availability.
