Absolutely.
You said it very well. It is historic. It is a milestone for all of us. Oral health care is on the table, and like many others, I am pleased to see that.
We are aware that the mouth is literally the gateway to the body. It impacts how we function day to day and what we eat. If someone has experienced any type of dental pain in their life, they would know that it is quite discomforting in the way that it inhibits anybody's ability to eat, to smile and to function.
I think this investment has a lot of potential to improve not only oral health, but overall health. There are many demonstrated systemic oral linkages, so this has the potential to also decrease the burden on acute care settings and emergency settings, where people end up in an emergency for oral health care issues.
