Our mission is to help improve the oral health of Oklahomans in need by providing preventative dental education and free comprehensive dental care through a statewide network of volunteer dental professionals.
Oral health care plays an important role in our health.
The common belief that tooth loss and dental disease are a part of normal aging must be dispelled. In this regard, dentistry should not be considered as only elective and cosmetic but as an important part of both our physical and emotional health.
Nearly 42% of adults in Oklahoma have not visited the dentist.
Low income, uninsured Oklahomans can access assistance for healthcare, food, housing and even cell phones. However, there are limited dental resources available for them. D-DENT’s goals are to recruit and partner with dental professionals across the state in order to make significant and lasting differences in the lives of eligible Oklahomans through our oral health care programs.
