Extraordinary
advances in biomedical and behavioral sciences have provided us with new tools
to tackle the most difficult problems of oral health. However much remains to
be done, as underscored by the report of the Surgeon General, "Oral
Health in America". Research discoveries are increasingly being made
at the interface of traditional disciplines. We must remain vigilant to ensure
that our oral health research work-force reflects the diversity of our nation
and is trained at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary sciences. I welcome
you to the NIDCR website and hope that you are able to find the information
you seek. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
