DSO

Our dentists have been providing portable oral health services since 1979 to community-based programs including:

  • Massachusetts Public School Systems
  • Head Start Programs
  • Preschools
  • WIC programs
  • Special School adolescent populations
  • Department of Social Services (DSS)
  • Department of Youth Services (DYS)
  • Department of Developmental Services (DDS)

CMOHS is at the forefront of meeting the needs of the underserved, especially children from lower-income families and children of racial and ethnic minority. Children who are free from pain and infection show improvement in their classroom studies and test scores thus advancing their ability to excel in school.

We use the “Tell, Show, Do” model to introduce children to dental care gently. Our approach stresses disease prevention and management through behavior management and emphasizes community education and communication.

Our commitment to quality care and our passion for improving the oral health of our community sets us apart from other programs.
