Dentists’ Willingness to Provide Expanded HIV Screening in Oral Health Care Settings
Objectives. Using a nationally representative survey, we determined dentists’ willingness to provide oral rapid HIV screening in the oral health care setting. Methods. From November 2010 through November 2011, a nationally representative survey of general dentists (sampling frame obtained from American Dental Association Survey Center) examined barriers and facilitators to offering oral HIV rapid testing (n = 1802; 70.7% response). Multiple logis…
Insurer Views on Reimbursement of Preventive Services in the Dental Setting

Dental care offers opportunities to serve at-risk individuals who are otherwise unlikely to b…
