Serving Those Who Served: Community Solutions to Support Better Veteran Oral Health
(1 Free CE Credit)
Register for webinar
Veterans experience a disproportionate burden of oral disease and face unique barriers to accessing dental care. Many of them grapple with challenges such as PTSD, trauma, behavioral health conditions, increased tobacco and alcohol use, and limited access to dental benefits. Together, these factors contribute to complex oral health needs and increase the risk of adverse outcomes, including oral cancer.
Join CareQuest Institute, Everyone for Veterans, and Smiles for Life for a webinar that will explore the unique oral health needs of veterans. Through a panel discussion featuring leaders and practitioners actively working to improve veteran oral health, participants will gain insight into innovative programs, community partnerships, educational initiatives, and research efforts that are making a difference today. Panelists will share real-world experiences, lessons learned, and practical strategies that participants can adapt to strengthen care and support for veterans in their own communities.

Join CareQuest Institute and MCD Global Health for a webinar that will explore how SDF — from application technique to community-wide implementation — can improve access to care and promote efficient, sustainable care delivery. Expert speakers will share evidence, policy developments, and real-world implementation strategies behind SDF adoption, along with examples of how interprofessional models are extending its use beyond traditional dental settings to reach underserved populations.
