Dealing With Oral Healthcare Within Broader Healthcare Policy: The Need for Conceptual Before Operational Steps
1Vice Dean and Director of Dentistry, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University, London, ON.
Abstract:
Should oral healthcare be part of Canada's universal healthcare system? If so, how? To effectively deal with oral healthcare within broader healthcare policy, we must first gain clarity on what comprehensiveness and access should mean for oral healthcare. To do this, we will need a fair process of deliberation to determine what Canadians think is a reasonable level of oral health and what oral healthcare services go alongside it, irrespective of how that ultimately becomes organized, financed and delivered.
