Unlocking Access to Oral Health

A healthy mouth is essential for a healthy body. Yet, access to adult oral health care is inconsistent or inaccessible for millions of low-income adults enrolled in Medicaid across the country.

Is there a connection between oral health benefits in public programs like Medicaid and health equity? Can the federal government do more to support states and ensure access to quality oral health care for millions of low-income people in the US? Can prioritizing oral health lead to reduced medical costs and better outcomes?

Join The Hill in-person in Washington or streaming nationally to hear from policymakers, health care experts, and advocates about the progress made and what more can be done to improve oral health nationwide.
