The Michigan Oral Health Coalition's mission is to improve oral health in Michigan by focusing on prevention, health promotion, oral health data, access and the link between oral health and overall health.

 

History

The Michigan Oral Health Coalition was formed in December 2002 in order to address the lack of oral health infrastructure and funding in the State of Michigan. In December 2003 Michigan has just eliminated the Medicaid adult dental benefit. The Coalition developed 4 work groups and a steering committee and drafted the Plan of Action for Improving the Oral Health Status of Michigan's residents. This plan was approved as Michigan's Plan of Action by MDCH in 2005. The Coalition is proud of its many accomplishments. The 2006/2007 Annual Report highlights the Coalition's major accomplishments.
