The HSA: a focus for advancing primary preventive dental programs.

Abstract

In conclusion, as community agencies under P.L. 93-641 embark upon the definition of health status goals, health system goals, and program implementation, dentists have the opportunity to clarify and assist in developing a vigorous approach to meeting dental health needs through primary prevention. Insofar as public health dentistry is able to provide technical assistance and leadership at the local HSA and SHPDA levels, the powerful tools for change embodied in this law can be a force for promoting the oral health of our population.
