Introducing the 2026-2027 District 9 Cabinet!!

April – ASDA District 9 celebrates Arab American Heritage Month

Barriers that Arab Americans/Arab immigrants face in dental care:
-Lack of insurance / affordable health insurance
-Language barriers
-Lack of oral health literacy, especially with preventative dental care

How dental providers can address these measures:
-Providing professional translation services
-Provide educational brochures / visual aids to provide oral health education

Important considerations:
-There’s a lack of health data for Arab Americans due to a lack of an Arab identifier in healthcare records/surveys
