Bridging the Gap in Oral Healthcare
OHAN is a public health initiative dedicated to making dental care information accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyone.
Access for Everyone
Navigating the dental healthcare system can be overwhelming. Cost barriers, confusing terminology, and lack of clear information often prevent people from getting the care they need.
The Oral Health Access Navigator (OHAN) was built to remove these obstacles. We provide a simple, automated way to find low-cost safety-net clinics and understand basic oral health concepts without the medical jargon.
Who is OHAN for?
- Individuals without dental insurance
- Families seeking low-cost or sliding-scale clinics
- Anyone engaging in preventive oral health education
What OHAN Does
- Helps you find local safety-net dental clinics.
- Explains common dental procedures in plain language.
- Provides information on Medicaid and sliding-scale options.
- Empowers you to ask the right questions to your provider.
What OHAN Does NOT Do
- No Medical Diagnosis: We cannot tell you what is wrong with your teeth.
- No Treatment: We are an information tool, not a clinic.
- No Medical Advice: Our content is for educational purposes only.
- Not for Emergencies: If you are in severe pain or danger, call 911 or visit an ER.
Built on Trust and Transparency
We believe that health information should be free, clear, and unbiased. OHAN is a non-commercial project designed solely to improve public health outcomes in our community. We do not sell user data or endorse specific private practices for profit.
Educational Use Only. Always consult a licensed professional for dental care.
