Oral Health

Under a memorandum of understanding with the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD), NACDD promoted identification of emerging models of oral health and chronic disease collaboration and integration in State Health Departments.

A joint ASTDD/NACDD webinar featured the approaches Connecticut, Tennessee, and Chicago took to integrate oral health into CDC’s Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child model. State models of collaboration were featured at the ASTDD Member Sharing Session at the National Oral Health Conference in 2018.
