Healthy Maine Talks
The Children's Oral Health Network of Maine (COHN) on Removing Barriers to Care
"Dental disease is the most common chronic disease among children and it can have whole body effects."--Kalie Hess, MPH, Children's Oral Health Network of Maine
"Sometimes we tend to separate oral health from overall health but they are one in the same."--Courtney Vannah, MS, MPH, MCD Global Health
Tune into this week's episode to hear about barriers to oral healthcare and ways COHN is working to make preventive dental care more accessible for all children in Maine. Check out https://www.dentalstepsforme.org/ and https://www.mainecohn.org/ for more info and resources.
