Our Vision:

​

The Kings County Oral Health Program is for all families in Kings County to have the resources they need to prevent oral disease, for all children and youth in Kings County to have a dental home that provides both preventative and comprehensive restorative care, and for Kings County to have a coordinated infrastructure to promote oral health as an essential component of overall health.
