This study describes examples of models and frameworks from other professions that could be applied toward creating environments of inclusion and belonging in dentistry. Examples are provided of activities, frameworks, and models that can serve to launch similar activities within dentistry. Selected models of inclusion from library science, medicine, nursing, dental hygiene, and social work can be used by the dental profession to help make definitive strides in the inclusion arena to combat challenges of access and inequitable oral health status.
