I investigated the health-care system and dental care system between the United States of America and Canada. Although Canada’s system is not encompassing of oral health, it is still better in comparison to the system in the states as medical services are covered. Both the United States and Canada should consider revisions to their systems in order improve the oral health and other supplementary health needs of its citizens. After this assignment, I learned that it is really in the scope of a dental hygienist to be pursuing these changes in policy to improve the oral health of the population.
