A Community Dental Health Coordinator (CDHC) is a trained professional who helps connect people with dental care and promotes good oral health in their communities. They assist individuals in understanding their dental needs, navigating dental services, and overcoming barriers like transportation or insurance issues. CDHCs work closely with dental teams, schools, and community organizations to improve access to preventive care, educate about oral health, and support efforts to keep smiles healthy. Their goal is to ensure everyone has the information and resources needed for better oral health and well-being.
