Fair distribution demands new strategies for engaging patients in co-creation.

Poor oral health has been neglected as a public health threat, despite recognition as “epidemic” in scale by the US Office of the Surgeon General.

Patient-centered care means offering potentially beneficial interventions while avoiding retraumatizing a patient.
