Welcome

A healthy mouth leads to better overall health. Studies show that poor oral hygiene can increase risk for diabetes, heart attack, stroke and premature births. Oral diseases affect what we eat, how we look, the way we communicate and how we feel about ourselves. They also affect academic success and economic productivity by limiting our ability to learn, work and succeed. To address the oral health needs in our region, the Coast to Cascades Community Wellness Network and other community partners have worked over the years to educate the community on the benefits of good oral health and improve access to dental services through extensive collaboration.
