The overarching goals of this communication strategy are to increase oral health awareness, improve access to care, encourage interprofessional collaboration and promote evidence-based public health prevention methods.  In addition, our goal is to:

• Help policymakers understand the challenges associated with access to dental care and the importance of oral health
• Share important legislative information with the public to maximize engagement and action
• Dispel myths and share facts
• Educate the public that oral health is linked to total body health
