The CDHC duties include, but are not limited to, oversight (parental/family education), dental home referral coordination, evaluation, training, onsite face-to-face with patient (PSA), transport portable dental units, and mobile driving as needed. The CDHC facilitates the availability of caries prevention and restorative services to families of young children, adults, and perinatal patients who are affiliated with AltaMed medical clinics without a dental home. In so doing, the CDHC facilitates referral to one of AltaMed's dental clinics and Dental Mobile Units. The CDHC works closely with CPSP, CPHW, medical and dental providers, support staff, administrators, dental supervisors, parents, children, and community members.

This role promotes early intervention for the 'oral prevention program'. The CDHC increases parents' awareness in such matters as education about anticipatory guidance, oral disease, and improves oral health outcomes for the children, adults, and perinatal patients. The CDHC reflects a standardized and coordinated process for Medical/Dental Integration, school-based program, and community-based program, including internal and external referrals. The CDHC will provide clinical preventive, restorative, and major services as needed, assist in follow-up to referrals for dental treatment, and report on activities to achieve LEM goals.
