The University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry will pilot a national project to educate rural Oklahomans about preventative oral health.
The college is among three selected by the American Dental Association to train a new type of worker — community dental health coordinators.
OU will train 18 coordinators as part of a five-year pilot program to raise awareness of preventative health and catch dental problems before they become severe.
"Our community doesn’t want dental health unless they have a toothache. That’s what we are trying to address,” said Jessica Johnson, a dental assistant from Clayton who will take 12 months of online courses from OU to become a community dental health coordinator. She won’t get paid as a coordinator, but her college courses are free as part of the pilot project.

A very important part of taking care of your teeth is regularly visiting the dentist. The dentist does not only take care of problems in the mouth such as cavities, but he or she also helps you to avoid problems by seeing their potential early on and giving you the necessary steps to avoid them.
