In April, national health leaders and community providers gathered at Howard University to confront a overlooked but widespread problem: the millions of older adults who lack consistent access to oral health care.

The Howard University College of Dentistry is a distinguished institution committed to advancing oral health and developing compassionate, skilled dental professionals since 1881. As one of the oldest dental schools in the nation and the only dental school in the District of Columbia, we are dedicated to clinical excellence, research, and service to underserved communities. We foster a culture of leadership, integrity, and innovation through our core values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence (C.A.R.E.).
The College {of Dentistry} is dedicated to providing high quality patient centered, evidence-based care to our patients and improving the quality of oral health in our local, national and global communities.
