One area of the dental profession that is often overlooked or
de-emphasized is the area of community service. This means many things to different
people but it is part of our professional obligation as an element of our ethical
contract with society as a “learned” profession. Each professional
should interact and participate in organized dentistry to help address the ongoing
ethical obligations and service to society. This section of the “Toolkit”
with be an ongoing attempt to explore and provide contacts in order to help
interact with our peers, understand our obligations and seek ways to provide
this community service in the area of oral health care.
