Abstract
Inequity and suffering are perpetuated and established by human societies, which can be embodied as health disparities. Social conditions, and the systems-level factors that structure them, play an outsize role in these health disparities (Table 1)[see image in poster.] Social and structural factors can also impact oral health. The U.S. has made progress in the integration of oral health into general strategies for health improvement—integrating oral health and primary health care, improving access to and quality of services, and creating patient-centered care teams (Northridge et al., 2020). However, the proximal behavioral causes of the oral inequalities have been overemphasized, rather than the more upstream causes of social gradients in oral diseases (Watt, 2012).
