Abstract:
Limited English proficiency (LEP) presents substantial barriers in dental settings, including miscommunication, reduced access to care, and ethical challenges in informed consent. This manuscript explores how professional interpretation, cultural competency training, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools can address these disparities. Through a comprehensive literature review, we evaluate communication platforms, policy mandates, and technological solutions while outlining the ethical considerations related to AI integration. Our findings suggest that leveraging trained interpreters, enhancing provider training in cultural competency, and ensuring ethical AI use can significantly improve outcomes for LEP patients. The paper also highlights the adverse effects of reduced diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) support and proposes actionable strategies for future practice.
