Abstract
Health equity has been defined as “the absence of systematic disparities in health (or in the major social determinants of health) between groups with different levels of underlying social advantage/disadvantage.”1 The social determinants of health include literacy. Health literacy, including oral health literacy, is a driver of inequity of population health. Oral health professionals have an important role to improve structural systems and interpersonal communication, working toward health equity through focus on health literacy.
