Filling Gaps: Integrating Service Systems to Improve Children's Access to Oral Health Care

The mission of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) is to advocate policies, guidelines and programs that promote optimal oral health and oral health care for children.

As advocates of children's oral health, the AAPD works closely with legislators, professional associations and health care professionals to develop policies and guidelines, implement research opportunities in pediatric oral health and educate pediatric dentists, health care providers and the public regarding pediatric oral health.
