Expanding Access to Care: Innovation and Equity in Dental Health

Access to dental care is often discussed—but less often understood in terms of how it actually works in practice.In this episode of Health Law Pulse, Kendra Flowers—a healthcare leader with deep experience in clinical operations, compliance, and scaling dental care delivery across multi-state and community-based models—joins me to explore what it truly takes to expand access to care.We discuss how innovation in dental delivery, including nontraditional care models, is helping reach underserved populations, and how operational design, compliance, and thoughtful system-building are critical to making those efforts sustainable.This is a practical conversation about where progress is happening in oral health—and what it will take to move the needle on equity.For more information about our lightning round sponsor, Western Associates, go to https://forms.gle/xmHGXhRPdomVgZQEA.
