Celebrating Black History Month: The Role of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Dental Healthcare
February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black Americans. Terms like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and affirmative action have been weaponized and turned into slurs by some, often misrepresenting their purpose. As a Black woman who has worked in public health dentistry for 15 years, I know the importance of representation and opportunity. By focusing on access and inclusion, we can work towards healthier smiles for everyone.
