Board of Directors

Everyone deserves quality dental care. We're here to make it happen.

Mission Statement
Since 1910, the mission of the Dental Center of Northwest Ohio has been to provide primary oral health services for underserved children and adults in Northwest Ohio, to promote the value of good oral health through education and to serve as an advocate for those with limited access to dental care.
 
Vision
The Surgeon General has determined that access to dental care is the number one unmet health need in the United States. The Dental Center's vision is to meet that need through a self-supporting system of fixed site and mobile dental clinics cooperating with other agencies and individuals in Northwest Ohio.
                                                     
Values
 The Dental Center recognizes its staff is the key to providing friendly, professional oral healthcare.  The Dental Center respects its patients and understands their needs,  striving to provide oral healthcare in an effective, efficient manner to maximize the care it provides within its available resources.
