Oral Health Education
Oral Health Education Programs & Resources
At COH, we offer educational programs and resources to instruct others concerning oral health topics. We teach children the importance of oral health and train dental and non-dental providers on preventive oral health services. Plus, we offer helpful resources to champion the cause of dental health for all.
Oral Health Programs
We start underserved children on the path to oral health young. That’s the premise behind the Early Smiles program in Sacramento. With the Oral Health Action Coalition, we have joined forces with other organizations to tackle oral health concerns throughout the Inland Empire.
EARLY SMILES SACRAMENTO
Early Smiles Sacramento was established in 2016 to help underserved children in Sacramento County with their dental care needs. Services include an oral health examination, oral hygiene instruction, topical application of fluoride, and more. We also help find dental services for the uninsured.

Oral Health Action Coalition - Inland Empire
The Oral Health Action Coalition - Inland Empire (OHAC-IE) started as a grassroots joint effort of Kaiser Permanente and the Center for Oral Health. We mobilize and organize local resources to increase access to oral health care and improve health outcomes throughout the Inland Empire region.
