My Role in the Office of Oral Health

By Gustavo 

I worked as intern at MA Department of Public Health, Office of Oral Health.  The role of this organization are following things:
• Evidence-based prevention programs such as community water fluoridation and school fluoride and sealant programs are utilized by Massachusetts communities and residents.
• That all residents have access to dental services. especially underserved populations.
• Publicly supported dental programs are efficiently managed and coordinated.
• Oral health information is available to residents and decision-makers to promote oral health.

Joyce juggles many things everyday

I feel proud to have been part of this amazing organization. My role there was to fix and put in order all the documents of people attending programs of dental services that were made ​​by DPH.  Also I checked the number of visits to its website.  I really enjoyed this part because I could see that many people in the United States has interest in Oral Health. The experience was really good because I could develop my skills and got the experience of teamwork.  I am really grateful for it.  I want to thank my internship supervisor Joyce Starr for making me welcome and showing me about their work each week.

As conclusion the Office of Oral Health works to make our oral heath better every day.
