Description
This program will focus on health disparities in the area of oral health. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Braddock is collaborating with the Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU) and Head Start to identify children without regular dental care with the objective of providing appropriate dental care to them, to seek to establish a dental home for every child and their family members, and to provide culturally competent oral health education to parents and children. UPMC is also collaborating with five Community Life (PACE) sites in the service area to provide annual checkups, teeth cleaning, extractions, dentures, and root canals while seeking to expand and increase access to preventive dental care and culturally competent oral health education.
