Abstract
It is impossible to overestimate the significance of dental health for general wellbeing. However, the dental delivery system in the United States faces challenges in efficiently treating periodontal disease and caries, the two most common oral disorders. These conditions are highly avoidable and rank among the most frequent chronic diseases. The development of dental care policy and practice in the US is discussed in this paper, along with the difficulties brought about by the dental system's isolation from the rest of the healthcare system and its potential effects on future reforms to the system. The conventional dental care delivery model from the nineteenth century may not be able to accommodate the demands of population health, interprofessional practice, information technology, and dentistry science in the twenty-first century. Over time, the nursing profession has undergone tremendous change, moving from a largely task-oriented vocation to one that is highly specialized and autonomous. In an era where healthcare systems are constantly changing, nurses are essential to patient care, health promotion, and community advocacy.
Aim: To detect the evolution of nursing care and dental specializations at the forefront
