  4. Access to Oral Health Care Goals • Ensure continuously accessible, coordinated, affordable, and effective oral health care (dental home) for all Marylanders through an integrated state oral health and health care system. • Build an optimal oral health work force to ensure the availability of oral health services for all Marylanders. • Strengthen the integration of oral health care and overall health care.

  5. Oral Disease and Injury Prevention Goals Regularly assess the oral health status of all Marylanders. Increase the use and adoption of best practices to prevent oral disease and injury in all settings, including public health and private practice. Promote the public’s awareness of risk factors for oral cancer, its symptoms, and ways to prevent it. Ensure that communities have access to oral-disease-prevention and injury-prevention programs.
