Abstract
This paper examines the critical issue of dental care access for marginalized communities on a global scale. The introduction provides essential background information on growing disparities in this field. This paper then discusses the current state of dental care for underserved people. The next section identifies key barriers to care such as financial constraints and geographic limitations. To address these challenges, this paper recommends two primary strategies: community-based initiatives and global health policy reforms. Community-based programs can provide localized, affordable dental care, while policy reforms can improve access on a broader scale. This paper concludes by championing continued research and advocacy to improve dental care access for vulnerable people.
