University of Groningen: Right to a Healthy Mouth

Description

Globally, a shocking 550 million children are currently walking around with untreated dental cavities (caries). This is despite the fact that it is becoming increasingly clear that dental problems negatively impact our overall health. PhD student in Health Law, Dominique Mollet, recognizes how important a healthy mouth is and is pushing for the development of healthy oral habits from birth. With the support of various partners, including the Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health, she is calling for legal research to draw more attention to the topic of oral health.
