About Us

Tri-County Dental Health Council is a private, charitable agency that helps low income people and those with special needs find affordable dental care in their communities.

Tri-County Dental Health Council brings together dental professionals, educators and volunteers to improve the health and well-being of the tri-county community. Since 1932, the Council has promoted wider access to oral health services for underserved people, and has worked to improve oral health through education and advocacy.
