For many oral health care can be a challenge both financially and logistically.  For migrant farm workers and their children working in rural areas of Central and Southern California, dental clinics are simply too far and too expensive.  For children of the working poor in Los Angeles, oral health care often is an afterthought until rampant tooth decay makes the pain unbearable.  For senior citizens a trip to the dentist may mean an exhausting crosstown trip.

At the School of Dentistry providing care to those in need means providing access to care. Community Health Programs operates both fixed and mobile programs througout Southern and Central California, bringing oral health care to areas where financial and geographical impediments are greatest. 

These programs leverage resources from a variety of like-minded government agencies and private foundations.  Through unique and innovative partnerships, the School of Dentistry is able to provide oral health care to thousands of Californians every year.
