Empowering Communities with Better Dental Care

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Dental Therapy Resource Guide highlights the urgent need for accessible, community-driven dental care across underserved populations. It showcases dental therapy as a proven solution to improving oral health, especially in rural and Indigenous communities, where lack of access leads to severe oral health issues and even life-threatening infections. The resource guide provides data, case studies, and advocacy tools to support the expansion of dental therapists, who help bridge the gap in dental care by delivering preventive and routine treatments where dentists are scarce.
