鈥淲e need to start thinking differently about the delivery of dental care, particularly for the most vulnerable members of our society. We need to better train dental students and dentists to work with these groups. We need to create new models of dental care delivery, including mobile dental care, 鈥渢ele-dentistry鈥� and setting up dental offices in community health-care centres, pharmacies and other sites where these vulnerable groups go for other health and social services. We need to bring dentists into the public system, working with family physicians, pediatricians, geriatricians and others.鈥�鈥擯aul Allison
