A new white paper advocates for the systematic integration of oral healthcare into general medical practice.

It proposes unified care models where dentists and physicians collaborate more closely. This shift aims to improve patient outcomes through holistic treatment plans. The document serves as a policy recommendation for healthcare providers, insurers, and regulators. It underscores the need for interdisciplinary communication and shared electronic health records. Professionals in both sectors are urged to consider how these structural changes might redefine service delivery and patient engagement strategies in the coming years.
