Abstract:
Last year 572,509 international students studied at U.S. universities. The dental health of these students is as diverse as the countries from which they come. This paper discusses the known prevalence and causative factors of dental disease among these students, reported global variations in oral health, and barriers to receiving care faced by international students while in the U.S. The author recommends greater appreciation of the dental needs of this population by scholastic administrators and suggests further research to better quantify the dental needs of this population.
