In collaboration with the Oral Health Access Coalition, RCHC advocates to fill the gap that too often separates people from needed dental care. RCHC works on many fronts to eliminate oral health disparities. Efforts include working with health stakeholders to develop strategies to expand access to oral health care for all members of the community, as well as advocating for the inclusion of oral health issues in statewide health reform.
In Sonoma County, RCHC is working with members of the Sonoma County Oral Health Coalition to expand preventative dentistry to or county's low-income children.

Across the United States, free and low-cost dental clinics play a vital role in making oral healthcare reachable for everyone. Supported by government funding, non-profit organisations, and charitable contributions, these clinics deliver essential dental treatment to those who need it most — including uninsured individuals, low-income families, children, seniors, and people receiving government assistance.
