Resource Summary: In support of the FY19 HRSA Oral Health Infrastructure (OHI) funding, NNOHA developed this OHI Toolkit with resources to help health centers navigate through the funding opportunity.

Resource Details: In 2017, 78% of health centers had a dental program, serving over 6 million people. However, only 22.5% of all health center patients received dental services at health centers. NNOHA developed this toolkit as a guide for health centers to use in their efforts towards infrastructure enhancements that provide new or enhance existing integrated oral health efforts. Items included in this toolkit include resources for teledentistry, mobile dental units, school-based health programs, workforce resources, and hospital-based care.
