Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Health Equity including dentistry to reduce tooth decay in young children by advocating for early preventive care and education of child and parents focusing on low income, indigent and homeless families. Many children do not receive adequate dental care due to access barriers such as family income, language and cultural barriers, and lack of dental insurance coverage. Numerous studies have documented the existence of income and racial/ethnic disparities in dental care access and oral health status. Low-income children (in families with incomes less than 200 percent FPL) are twice as likely as higher-income children to have tooth decay and unmet need for dental care; and low-income children without health insurance are twice as unlikely as their insured counterparts to receive preventive dental care (Kenny, Ko, and Ormond 2000; Kenny, McFeeters, and Yee 2005; Dye et al. 2007).

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Mentoring for careers in dentistry

Mentoring and Clinical Rotations for pre-dental, dental and dental hygiene students. Over 60 students rotate each year through the clinic to gain practical experience and exposure to the public health crisis of oral health in children.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Kid s’ Community Dental Clinic programs center on the education, prevention, detection, intervention and restoration of tooth decay and oral health problems in low income children through 4 programs: 1) School-linked Oral Health Education & Outreach, 2) Parenting and Babies R Free; 3) Dental Career Mentoring; and 4) Pediatric Dental Clinic as a Dental Home, for direct services including dental treatments. Our vision is for children to learn that cavities are preventable but also transmissible and for all children to have access to regular dental care at our dental home.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
Families

The Kids' Community Dental Clinic is a dental home to over 2500 children with room to add new patients who need dental treatments and ongoing preventative care. We have no geographic limits and will help anyone who calls on behalf of a child needing dental care.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To provide education, prevention, detection, early intervention and restoration of tooth decay in low income and homeless children.

Offer free educational and preventive treatment programs for children starting with babies at 6 months, and offer parents classes that teach cavity prevention. Offer dental home access to children of low income families.

1. Develop Board to ensure a sustainable future.
2. Review capacity and opportunity for growth and possible expansion.
3. Financial sustainability.
4. Succession planning for the future of the organization.
5. Expansion and capacity growth.

1. Although we are in the midst of building capacity daily, over 40 dental professionals meet the needs of the community by volunteering their time.
2. KCDC partners with over 25 organizations provide dental education and services for children. Many of these relationships stretch back over 18 years.
3. KCDC has kept the cost low throughout its history and is free for homeless children.
4. Mentoring is offered daily, and the majority of our pre-dental volunteers become dentists who come back to serve the community, but we are always looking to grow this program.
5. KCDC is looking to physically expand its operations in order to help more children with dentistry.

So far, KCDC has a beautiful facility that proudly reflects the community where we are located (e.g., Cartoon Network doors, Warner Brothers storage shed, refurbished office by local leaders, etc.). We are busy 4 days each week and looking to grow but need to balance staff, duties, facility space and added staff to logically and thoughtfully grow.

In the future, we hope to have identified space to relocate and grow further to serve more children.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
