The session will discuss a conceptual framework for understanding factors that affect pediatric access to oral health care and analyze the implementation of the American Dental Association’s Community Dental Health Coordinator (CDHC) model into two pediatric academic practices to understand these factors. The session will also discuss the role of the medical home in promoting oral health access. The goals of this session will emphasize the conceptual framework, the success/challenges of CDHC implementation, and discuss ideas to promote dental-medical home collaboration.

Learning Objectives:

  • Evaluate the implementation of the CDHC model in an outpatient pediatric practice.
  • Discuss the importance of collaboration between medical and dental homes in serving pediatric patients.
