This thesis addresses the global and national health landscape of disparities to provide insight into the social factors such as education, socioeconomic status, and environment that impact marginalized groups. A positive correlation between race, residency, and lower socioeconomic status among global and national landscapes was made with oral health disparities demonstrating poorer health outcomes among these groups. Through a multistep approach this thesis aimed to provide solutions to contribute to the efforts of developing effective policies and interventions that aim to promote oral health equity.
