TOHC is a joint meeting sponsored by leading oral health and dental public health organizations in Texas.
The Texas Oral Health Coalition (TxOHC) The Texas Oral Health Coalition, Inc. is a nonprofit state level coalition that exists exclusively to promote and support the oral health of all Texans. It creates and assists collaborative efforts between oral health professionals, medical providers, local communities, health- related coalitions, and public health stakeholders.

We work closely with our partners to implement, evaluate, and disseminate oral health best practices. We provide strategic planning and program development support to translate evidence into action. We guide the integration of oral health with general health at the local, state and national levels. Principle Sponsors
