The Texas Oral Health Coalition (TxOHC) Summit brings together individuals dedicated to improving oral health to advance the health of all Texans.
Oral health and overall health are deeply connected, impacting everything from the ability to eat and speak to academic success, job opportunities, and chronic disease prevention. Yet too many Texans still face barriers to care, challenges to preventive measures, and health systems that treat the mouth separately from the body, resulting in poor oral health outcomes. When everyone has the opportunity to achieve their best oral health, we see healthier, stronger communities.
The summit serves as a space to reignite collaboration, rebuild connections, and reimagine what’s possible for oral health. Participants will engage with innovative models, policy insights, and systems-level strategies that strengthen the oral health network and spark lasting impact across Texas.
