Healthy People 2030 

Goal: Improve the health and well-being of children.
The significant improvement in the oral health of Americans over the past 50 years is a public health success story. Most of the gains are a result of effective prevention and treatment efforts. One major success is community water fluoridation, which now benefits about 7 out of 10 Americans who get water through public water systems. However, some Americans do not have access to preventive programs. Objectives in this topic area address a number of areas for public health improvement, including the need to:

• Increase awareness of the importance of oral health to overall health and well-being. Increase acceptance and adoption of effective
• preventive interventions. Reduce disparities in access to effective preventive and dental treatment services.
