The ADA has partnered with the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation and Consumer Reports to bring dental health literacy to Choosing Wisely.
The Choosing Wisely website encourages patients to make educated healthcare choices. The goal of the initiative is to promote conversations between patients and their providers using evidence-based recommendations.
Choosing Wisely's dental health literacy section will launch mid-July. The section will include information about the following:
- Fillings
- Sealants
- Jaw pain
- Children's oral healthcare
- Dental benefits plans and payments
