The Dental Director provides leadership in clinical oral care initiatives and provides oversight of dental providers. The Dental Department works closely with the medical, case management, women’s health and behavioral health departments, supporting MCHC patients’ access to comprehensive care.
Special programs include HIV dental care, oral health care for pregnant women, care for the developmentally disabled and a commitment to community outreach that allows MCHC to implement short-term, community-based service projects, taking oral health education and services into schools and to other populations with unmet need.
