Survey of Health Center Oral Health Providers

As part of a Cooperative Agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), NNOHA worked with Baylor College of Dentistry in 2009 to develop and administer a survey of Health Center dental providers.

The purpose of the survey was to provide information and analysis on dental salaries, provider satisfaction, and recruitment and retention strategies at Health Centers throughout the country. The survey was mailed to Health Centers with dental programs, and was completed by 578 dentists, 120 dental hygienists, and 338 executive directors.
