OUR MISSION

The Student Oral Health Initiative at Drexel University College of Medicine aims to facilitate an appreciation and understanding of oral health as a vital and necessary component to total health.  We believe that by working together with our community we can help begin the task of building a more centralized “Health Home.”  This concept establishes the integration of oral health into total health within the minds of our health professionals and our community.

Materials for Parents & Family

This section is devoted to the parents and guardians of our children.  We believe that it is necessary to include the parents/ guardians of our children as part of the total health team.  As such, we hope you will enjoy the material that we post in our PARENTS section.
