“We believe that collectively we can significantly reduce the burden of caries in at-risk communities in North Americaand help ensure that more children in future generations are cavity-free,” said Robert Schroth, Associate Professor in the Department of Preventive Dental Science (College of Dentistry) and the Department of Pediatrics & Child Health (College of Medicine), University of Manitoba, and Co-Chair, Canada-U.S. Chapter of the Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future. “Now is the time to bring together patients and their families, oral health and other healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders committed to addressing the problem of dental caries in society so that we can advance interdisciplinary approaches to oral health promotion and advocacy.”
