Ohio Task Force on Oral Health and Access to Dental Care

The following is an important announcement of regional public hearings related to oral health and access to dental care. It is being lead by Dr. Alvin , the Director of ODH. As you know, in recent years during the state budget process, the General Assembly has discussed the elimination of Medicaid coverage for dental care. We know that individuals have problems with their general health, if their oral health needs are not attended to. We have heard testimony, in years past, from individuals who could not get a job, because their teeth were in such bad shape. The Governor's budget supports ongoing dental care for individuals with Medicaid coverage. But, as you know, simply having the coverage doesn't guarantee access!............ â— February 24, 2009 Lisbon, Ohioâ— February 25, 2009 North Royalton, Ohioâ— March 3, 2009 Columbus, Ohioâ— March 5, 2009 ville, Ohioâ— March 10, 2009 Bowling Green, Ohioâ— March 16, 2009 Cincinnati, Ohio

There will be two sessions in each location. Morning sessions will focus on needs and challenges of patients/consumers. Afternoon sessions will focus on the needs and challenges of providers.

Details will follow soon.
