The current Health People 2020 (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2010b) initiative builds on the four previous plans aimed at helping individuals of all ages increase their life expectancy and improve their quality of life. Reducing health disparities among different segments of the population is also an aim of this initiative and oral health is one of the identified focus areas. Objectives that focus on the oral health of children include: (a) reducing the proportion of children who have dental caries in their primary teeth or untreated dental decay, (b) increasing the proportion of children who use the oarl health system, (c) increasing the proportion of low-income children who receive preventive dental servicd, (d) increasing the proportion of school-based health centers (SBHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers that have oral health programs, and (e) increasing the number of states and the District of Columbia that have an oral and craniofacial health surveillance system (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2010).
