Get the facts.
Dental therapists are licensed and/or certified oral health professionals trained to expand access to dental care and promote health equity. They help reduce longstanding disparities by providing high-quality, affordable, and safe services in rural and urban communities. Working in schools, clinics, and community settings, dental therapists deliver preventive care such as cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments. Their patient-centered approach helps people get the care they need close to home. Studies consistently show that dental therapists provide care that is just as safe and effective, while significantly improving access for individuals and families who have traditionally faced barriers to oral health care.
