Oral Health

Legislative advocacy

Together with our oral health collaborative members, we provide support for a unified legislative agenda, including engagement with local legislators to advance policies that improve access to oral health services and resources.

School screening support

We facilitate coordination among community partners delivering in-school screenings, helping reduce duplication of efforts and expand outreach to more children.  

Oral health for under-resourced populations

Educational initiatives and strategic outreach connecting pregnant women and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to oral health education, resources, and care.
