Oral health inequalities remain a major challenge across global healthcare systems. Vulnerable populations, including low-income communities and underserved regions, often face limited access to oral healthcare services, leading to higher disease prevalence and poorer outcomes.
These disparities are driven by factors such as socioeconomic conditions, lack of healthcare infrastructure, and limited policy focus on oral health. Addressing these challenges requires a coordinated effort involving research, policy reform, and community engagement.
Strengthening health systems through inclusive policies and collaborative initiatives can help bridge these gaps. By prioritizing equity and access, global health organizations can ensure that oral health becomes an integral part of universal healthcare systems.
