The National Call To Action To Promote Oral Health is addressed to professional organizations and individuals concerned with the health of their fellow Americans.  It is an invitation to expand plans, activities, and programs designed to promote oral health and prevent disease, especially to reduce the health disparities that affect members of racial and ethnic groups,  poor people, many who are geographically isolated, and others who are vulnerable because of special oral health care needs.  The National Call To Action To Promote Oral Health, referred to as the Call To Action, reflects the work of a partnership of public and private organizations who have specified a vision, goals, and a series of actions to achieve the goals.  It is their hope to inspire others to join in the effort, bringing their expertise and experience to enrich the partnership and thus accelerate a movement to enhance the oral and general health and well-being of all Americans.
