Arizona’s governor requested the National Governor’s Association (NGA) to facilitate a meeting to address the oral health needs of Arizona’s underserved. One area of focus was the tribal oral health needs. Two potential strategies emerged for further discussion. These included the integration of oral health into primary care and the establishment of a mid-level provider for the dental team. Continued discussions will be underway.
