• Resumen

  • The authors reflect on a systems perspective for dental health in older adults in the U.S. They suggest that as the population of older adults in the U.S. expands, the need for coordinated and cost-effective health policies becomes more clear. They argue that a systems perspective would provide coordinated interventions that provide locally based public health and health care services for older adults.
