IHS Dental Portal: Improving Oral Health in Native Communities

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Dental Portal provides valuable data briefs, infographics, and resources focused on oral health for American Indian and Alaska Native populations. It includes age-specific oral health reports, plans for oral health surveillance, and insights on elder care and dental initiatives. The portal also highlights COVID-19’s impact on dental services in tribal and urban programs. It serves as a central hub for dental professionals, healthcare providers, and policymakers working to enhance oral health care access and outcomes in Native communities.
