ADA Launches Community Dental Health Coordinator Program to Provide Dental Care in Underserved Areas

Date:3/16/2009

HC program is a collaborative effort that has drawn together several academic institutions, each of which is responsible for specific training. These schools include the University of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City, University of California Los Angeles, Salish Kootenai College, located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Pablo, Mont., and Temple University's Kornberg School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, which will launch its program this summer. Rio Salado Community College in Tempe, Ariz., is supporting the program by providing the academic study portion online.

The CDHC program will train a total of 18 CDHCs in the 2009-2010 academic year. The same number of CDHCs will be graduated over the two remaining program years, to produce a total 54 CDHCs.

"Our dental school partners and the ADA believe that CDHCs have enormous potential to deliver oral health care to underserved populations," said Dr. Findley. "While it is not possible at this juncture to predict the outcome and efficacy of this initiative, our partners and members have expressed enthusiasm and optimism for this model and for what it might achieve."

Advocating for Better Health

The CDHC program is part of the ADA's multi-tiered approach to extending dental care to people who would otherwise go without access to oral health.

The ADA also lobbied for the Dental Health Improvement Act that provides funding for state dental workforce programs, thereby improving access to dental care. These effor
