BECAUSE Everyone deserves
a healthy smile.

We Are An Organization Promoting Oral Health Services, Education, Research & Policy Since 1985

Most Americans have access to excellent oral health care—but not all Americans. That’s why Center for Oral Health (COH) exists. For nearly 40 years, we have committed ourselves to improving oral health in vulnerable populations through dental services, education, research, and advocacy.

What We Do

Dental Services

We offer oral health services at standalone clinics and through school-based programs in California. We help low income families, the elderly, the disabled, and more.

Oral Health Education

We teach the community about the importance of oral health and connect them with dental professionals. We also train dental and non-dental providers on preventive oral health services.

We conduct research and release reports documenting oral health care needs of vulnerable populations. We partner with other organizations to better understand oral health issues.
