Oral public health programs for the elderly: 1989.

M S Strayer

Section of Community Dentistry, College of Dentistry, Ohio State University.

Forty-eight of the 50 state dental directors, program managers, or state health officials were interviewed by telephone about the nature of current oral health programs for the elderly and factors that aided or hindered the development of such programs. Oral health programs for the elderly were reported in 30 states (63 percent of respondents). A majority of respondents indicated that a perceived or documented need for oral health programs for the elderly and lobbying by local advocacy groups were instrumental in implementing or planning such programs.
