title: Transcultural oral health care: 6. The oral health of minority ethnic groups in the United Kingdom--a review.
abstract: The 1991 census of England and Wales estimated that the minority ethnic population was almost 2.95 million, or 6% of the total population of the UK. The aim of this paper is broadly to describe the oral health status and trends among minority ethnic groups to enable a clearer formulation of strategies to improve their oral health.
