Abstract
Vermont is one of the many places suffering from decreased accessed to Oral Healthcare. This problem is particularly impactful to Addison County and other places outside of the greater Burlington area. Provider shortages, geography, and lack of dental education are contributing factors leading to poor dental health and decreased overall wellness. This project analyzes these issues and takes steps to increase PCP scope of practice to better address Oral Health needs of all patients.
