Since 1840, when the first dental school in the United States was founded, educational and policy outcomes have reinforced the separation of dentistry from medicine. Originating in serial historical divides, this separation has produced grave health inequity. The COVID-19 pandemic illuminates differences in medical and dental care delivery streams and also suggests how to design a unified health care system that transcends historical precedent.
自 1840 年美国第一所牙科学校成立以来，教育和政策成果加强了牙科与医学的分离。这种分离源于历史上的一系列分歧，导致了严重的健康不平等。COVID-19 大流行凸显了医疗和牙科保健服务提供渠道的差异，也为设计超越历史先例的统一医疗保健系统提供了思路。
