Oral Health

Connecticut Oral Health Initiative

2018 - $85,000

Connecticut has made major strides in expanding access to oral health care, particularly for low-income children, resulting in improved outcomes. Yet these gains could be eroded by funding cuts, particularly in the state’s HUSKY program, that could lead to reduced coverage and access to dental care. The Connecticut Oral Health Initiative will work to protect and advance coverage and access to dental care for children and adults covered by Medicaid. This work will include partnering with other organizations to ensure the sustainability of community health centers and school-based health centers, which are critical sources of oral health care, particularly for low-income Connecticut residents.
