Description

Introduction Providing oral health care based on the clients' individualized needs is the cornerstone of dental hygiene practice. (1-2) As the United States population has become increasingly culturally diverse, this principle of client-centered care takes on added significance. Spector reports that the dominant Caucasian majority culture in this country is both decreasing and aging. (3) This is in stark contrast to the Asian American, Hispanic American, and American Indian subcultures, which are young and growing. She further relates that Hispanics will be the largest minority group in the United States in 2005. (3) These demographics, coupled with immigration of Eastern Europeans and other groups, will undoubtedly lead to an increase in the number of culturally diverse clients encountered in dental hygiene practice in the United States.
