Oral Health Kansas is working with our partners to create a culture that values oral health as a part of overall health for Kansans of all ages,
cultures and resources.
Learn about the many ways to help Kansans access dental services,
a way to pay for their dental services, and how to take care of their own oral health.

Your Voice Can Help Someone Find a Dentist
Finding a dentist who accepts Medicaid or feels comfortable seeing someone with a disability can be hard. Too many people are turned away or go without care simply because a dentist who is comfortable seeing people with disabilities isn’t available.
Our Dentist Recruitment Toolkit gives people the tools to help change that. It offers simple talking points and helpful tips to start positive conversations with dental offices about accepting Medicaid and welcoming patients with disabilities. You don’t need to be a professional advocate - just someone who cares.
By using and sharing this toolkit, you can help more dentists say “yes” and help more people get the care they deserve. One conversation can make a real difference. Click on this link for the toolkit or use the QR code above.
