Input Solicited for Surgeon General’s Report on Oral Health

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) are soliciting stakeholder input on the new Surgeon General’s report on oral health. A webinar will be held at 12 pm EST, January 10, 2019, to update the public on the status and gather public input.

NIDCR is working with the Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams, MD, MPH, to produce a new report on oral health. The CDC’s Division of Oral Health hosted a listening session to identify and discuss significant oral health-related topics that will inform the upcoming report. A video of the meeting will be available soon on the US Department of Health and Human Services YouTube channel.

Written comments must be received on or before January 25, 2019. Comments can be made to Michelle Pit at: NIDCR-SGROH@nidcr.nih.gov.
