The Early Childhood Oral Health Assessment and the Virtual Dental Home: Lessons Learned from California’s Local Dental Pilot Projects

Over the past five years, California’s Dental Transformation Initiative has increased access to care and utilization of dental services for children enrolled in Medi-Cal. As part of this initiative, TCP has co-led the implementation of a Local Dental Pilot Project in the Inland Empire which has addressed the oral health needs of children, particularly children of color and low-income children, through innovative, technology-based strategies that bring care into the community.

As the pilot comes to a close at the end of 2020, we are proud to co-release three issue briefs with our partners detailing the implementation, the lessons learned, and the best practices of the Virtual Dental Home and the Early Childhood Oral Health Assessment in the Inland Empire, as well as the implementation of the Virtual Dental Home statewide.
