A Special Care Dentistry bill has been introduced by the 109th Congress (HR 4624). Check out the bill's contents here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.4624.IH.

The Oral Health Section has been actively pursuing links with groups involved in providing and facilitating care for special needs populations. Resources can be found on the Web sites of the Special Care Dentistry Association (http://www.specialcaredentistry.org/) and University of the Pacific's Pacific Center for Special Care (http://www.pacificspecialcare.org/pg/dph_seminar.htm).
