Making quality senior dental care accessible to all is the mission of Michelle Vacha, founder and executive director of Community Dental Health.
With a background in dental hygiene, she recognized a critical gap in oral health care for seniors and took action by establishing what was originally known as Senior Mobile Dental. She shares her firsthand experiences witnessing the neglect of senior oral care, and her passion for creating lasting change in the field.
Michelle takes us through her journey into dental care, the evolution of Community Dental Health into the organization it is today, the crucial role of oral health in overall well-being, the unique dental care opportunities available in Colorado, and how access to these services has expanded over time.
