MISSOURI ORAL HEALTH POLICY CONFERENCE

The Missouri Oral Health Policy Conference is the state’s premier gathering for advancing oral health policy, promoting health equity, and shaping the future of oral health across Missouri.

Held in Jefferson City, MO, the conference brings together oral health professionals, advocates, policymakers, health departments, and community members to connect, learn, and collaborate. As the only statewide event dedicated specifically to bringing Missouri’s oral health community together around policy and systems change, the conference provides a unique opportunity to share ideas, build partnerships, and help shape the future of oral health in Missouri.

Attendees can expect timely and engaging sessions, presentations from leading specialists, insights into the latest research and innovative practices, and meaningful opportunities to network with colleagues and community partners. Dental continuing education (CE) credit is also available for eligible conference participation.

This event is organized and hosted by the Missouri Coalition for Oral Health, a 501(c)(3) non-profit advocacy organization working to improve oral health for all Missourians through sound public policy and systems change. The conference is designed to provide accessible, informative, and collaborative learning opportunities for professionals and community members alike.

Conference registration is intentionally kept affordable to encourage broad participation and includes conference sessions, meals, materials, and networking opportunities.
