University of Maryland School of Dentistry
MD
United States

This program establishes a case management model that links children to dental services and works with the community to increase utilization of treatment. Navigating available resources can be an obstacle to getting necessary care; this model attempts to address these struggles. Funding supports a Case Management pilot to establish support for a statewide model of care coordination focused specifically on oral health for school children. The program has developed relationships between the school systems, schools, the dental school and the case managers to move the program forward. The pilot fulfills a key recommendation of the Maryland Dental Action Committee and will be the model that the Maryland department of health will expand statewide.
