Beyond A Smile:
Oral Health Access in Florida
Community Conversation Series
Hosted by:
-
Many Floridians are struggling to access dental care, including the over six million Floridians living in Dental Care Professional Shortage Areas.
​
-
Join the Florida Oral Health Alliance for a panel-led roundtable discussion on oral health access in your community.
​
-
The panel discussions will feature local providers and stakeholders as they discuss trends in oral health, local barriers to care, and potential solutions.
​
-
Dental and other providers, public health professionals, community based organizations, advocates, and anyone interested in improving access to oral health is invited to participate.

This will be a great opportunity to learn from each other and to network with others across sectors. A light meal and beverages will be served.​
