NCOHF
responds to the national growing need to provide access
to community based programs for underserved children that
deliver the best approaches to eliminate dental disease,
optimize oral health, effectively reduce student absenteeism,
and significantly enhance quality of life and family productivity.
Building on existing models, Within 10 years NCOHF
will reach 20 million children through a national
network of progressive community-based comprehensive children's
dental education & treatment centers. Children will
receive vital oral health care and prevention education,
improve self-esteem, strengthen overall health and break
the vicious cycle of sub-standard oral health.
