Expanding the boundaries: enhancing dentistry's contribution to overall health and well-being of children.

Abstract:

:The Surgeon General's Report, Oral Health in America, is the first comprehensive assessment of oral, dental, and craniofacial health in the history of our nation. The intent of this report is to alert all Americans to the full meaning of oral health and its importance to general health and well-being across the life span. Moreover, the report has been released at a time of enormous changes in human history as well as opportunities. The convergence of public health policies, "quality of life" expectations, global informatics, a new century of biotechnology, the advent of nanotechnology, the completion of the human genome project, changes in the management of health care, and the acknowledgment of enormous health disparities heralds a call to action. These changes affect children and their caregivers and the elderly. They also affect the social, economic, and health issues associated with special patients, including those with developmental disabilities. This paper highlights dentistry's future and how oral health is broadening the impact on patient and community health and dental practice, with a focus on children's oral health. The paper provides recommendations and suggests a call to action.
