Oral Health Project in Grand Marais, Minnesota

The Oral Health Project in Grand Marais, Minnesota, is a dental practice dedicated to providing comprehensive, integrated, and responsive dental care services in primary care, pediatric, public health, or family medical center settings. The practice aims to improve access to oral health care for patients in rural and underserved communities, focusing on best practices in oral health screening, fluoride varnish application, oral health case management, and billing for these services in non-dental settings.

The Oral Health Project is funded by the North Dakota Department of Health & Human Services Oral Health Program under two federal grants: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention State Actions to Improve Oral Health Outcomes and the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Grants to States to Support Oral Health Workforce Activities. The project is designed to build and strengthen capacity among primary care and other providers responsible for supporting patient well-being, with a focus on integrating medical and dental services in different healthcare and public health settings to support populations with unmet oral health needs and associated chronic diseases.

The Oral Health Project’s teleECHO series includes free, 45-60 minute, prerecorded trainings that can be viewed at any time and address best practices in oral health screening, fluoride varnish application, oral health case management, and billing for these services in primary care settings. Each recording includes a didactic lecture and case presentations, and participants can earn CME credit by accessing the trainings through the CME Attendee Portal.

The practice’s mission aligns with the Healthy People 2030 objectives, including increasing the proportion of oral and pharyngeal cancers detected at the earliest stage, reducing the proportion of adults with disabilities who delay preventive care because of cost, and increasing the proportion of children and adolescents who have dental sealants on 1 or more molars.

The Oral Health Project is committed to addressing the oral health needs of low-income uninsured and underinsured residents in Grand Marais and surrounding areas, with a focus on improving access to oral health care and providing valuable information on oral health resources and services.
