Community Catalyst and Morehouse School of Medicine are excited to announce episode 2 of Rooted in Oral Health Equity: A Webinar Series.

Join us on November 14th at 2 PM for Episode 2: Moving the Needle on Oral Health Disparities.

This episode, “Moving the Needle on Oral Health Disparities,” will: Provide an overview of oral health disparities data, as well as perspectives on the structural barriers that cause these disparities for different populations; highlight research on Emergency Department use for dental-related issues and the consequences of lack of access to dental care, as well as the need for culturally-appropriate interventions; and share on-the-ground examples from advocates working to address access barriers and oral health disparities. 

Rooted in Oral Health Equity highlights a different issue related to oral health equity each month. Each webinar will feature expert speakers, including Oral Health in America chapter authors, advocates, and community voices to provide diverse perspectives on current barriers to optimal oral health and community-based solutions that are having an impact across the country. This webinar series is intended for advocates, providers, policymakers, and anyone interested in health equity!
