S
ince the beginning of modern healthcare, medicine and
dentistry have existed as separate healthcare domains. The
systemic separation began a century ago, and health care policy
has historically reinforced it. While this separation appeared
to serve well for many years, significant changes in healthcare
have occurred and this separation is now obsolete and may be
harmful. This artificial division of care into organizational silos
ignores the fact that the mouth is part of the body. The emergent
understanding of how oral health affects overall health, and
vice versa, suggests that continuation of this separation leads
to incomplete, inaccurate, inefficient and inadequate treatment
of both medical and dental disease. We are entering the era of
accountability and need to focus on oral and craniofacial health
as well as its connection to systemic health, research and
education. Even though technology and the market are constantly
changing, there is one thing which always remains the same – the
human concern for health. The strength of overall healthcare in a
community relies on an interdisciplinary approach. Its integration.
