As we launch the renewed Texas Oral Health Coalition, we are reimagining the role of oral health in strengthening the health, development, and long-term opportunity of Texas children.
Oral health is much more than dental care; it shapes how children eat, speak, learn, socialize, and thrive. It influences school readiness, family well-being, chronic disease prevention, and the broader foundations of lifelong health. Yet its impact is often overlooked in conversations about child well-being.
Join us to explore how elevating oral health as an essential component of whole-child health can create new opportunities for prevention, access, and collaboration across Texas. A cross-sector panel of experts will share insights on opportunities for partnership and systems change in the coalition’s next chapter.
Learning Objectives:
1) Understand the connection between oral health and children’s overall health, development, and opportunity.
2) Identify key opportunities to integrate and elevate oral health within broader child- and family-serving systems.
3) Discover ways to connect with the renewed Texas Oral Health Coalition and contribute to shared statewide priorities.
