The California Oral Health Technical Assistance Center (COHTAC) provides support and resources to help local oral health programs achieve their goals.
We are a group of UCSF faculty, researchers, and staff with expertise in oral health. We work in partnership with the California Department of Public Health's Office of Oral Health Program and the UCSF Dental Public Health Postgraduate Program to create a healthier California through evidence-based strategies.
Programs
Our focus is on four primary areas, recognized by the CDC as fundamental to improve community oral health:
- School Oral Health Programs & KOHA
- Water Fluoridation
- Tobacco Cessation
- Results Based Accountability (RBA)
- Dental Public Health Residency Program
