Noon to 1 p.m. PT

American Indian and Alaskan Native children have more tooth decay than other populations. In the August session<http://www.nwcphp.org/training/opportunities/webinars/expanding-oral-health-services-in-northwest-tribal-communities> of Hot Topics in Practice, Christina Peters, Director of Oral Health at Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, speaks about why this heath disparity exists and what is being done to eliminate it.
In this one-hour webinar, Peters will review the major barriers to accessing oral health services in tribal settings and describe how these communities are using policy advocacy and training to expand care networks and reduce costs. She will explain how dental health aid therapists play a critical role in accomplishing this work and how their practices vary in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.
Register today<https://nwcphp.adobeconnect.com/htip20160823/event/registration.html> and learn how health care and public health are changing in the 21st Century.
