We address the Healthy People 2020 leading indicator for oral health: persons who visited the dentist in the past year. Our project focuses on children up to age 14 in Worcester and Holyoke. These are cities with disparities in oral health outcomes and large proportions of racial and ethnic minority residents. We are a collaborative project with the Office of Oral Health. We are funded by the Office of Minority Health for 5 years, starting in August 2015.
