Abstract
This chapter will review three oral and dental health cases. The authors have selected cases that display some important cultural health concepts in Hispanic/Latino health. Readers are invited to review each case as it progresses and to challenge themselves to complete a case note for each patient after reading or listening to the case in Spanish. The authors’ case discussion will review critical aspects of each oral and dental health case in the light of the Spanish-speaking patient and family experience and language variations, explore the social context and potential barriers to care common in this population, and present examples of cultural beliefs or practices that may influence oral and dental health and illness.
