Authority Dental
We're a go-to place for dental information for major media publishers and health websites, including WebMD, Healthline, Oral-B, Yahoo, Huffington Post, Insider, Byrdie, Fatherly, BestLife, PocketSense, Considerable, TheList, Reason, Rewire, USA Today, Bankrate, Wikihow, and others.

We write about dentistry, oral health, prosthodontics, orthodontics and dental costs. We have published health recommendations for COVID-19, seniors, and veterans. Our articles are regularly shared on government, university, and organization websites. Since 2020, we have proudly been continuing the mission of Oral Health America and the Tooth Wisdom Project.
Community Catalyst - Dental Access Project
Community Catalyst created the Dental Access Project to address inequitable access and other barriers to care. We partner with community advocates to identify and implement community-based solutions. This includes supporting state and tribal partners in creating policy change that helps people get quality, affordable dental care where and when they need it, in their own communities, with particular attention to communities of color, tribal communities and low-income populations, as well as other groups who have been ignored by or intentionally excluded from the current oral health delivery system.
WHO - Oral Health
The WHO Oral Health Programme leads the work on setting the global oral health policy agenda in close collaboration with member states and other key stakeholders. Recent momentum has led to the development of key policy documents to support countries in moving towards universal health coverage for oral health by 2030. These include the Global strategy on oral health, the Global oral health action plan and the Global oral health status report.
