Dental Health in Colorado

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has many programs promoting oral/dental health.  Specific programs target Coloradans of various ages, such as the Cavity Free at Three program and the Dental Assistance for Seniors program.  CDPHE also oversees water fluoridation and keeps statistics on Coloradans’ dental health.  For information on CDPHE’s programs, see their website.  For publications about dental health in Colorado, check our library’s online catalog.  Some examples of resources include
