Your Voice Can Help Strengthen Access to Dental Care in Michigan

MCDC's mission is to enhance community health by offering access to dental care for all.

We advocate with state lawmakers to protect and expand oral health programs, and connect more individuals across Michigan with access to dental care. For many, our care makes it possible to get out of pain, prevent serious health problems, and live with dignity. 

The true value of dental care is best told by those who’ve experienced it and that’s where you come in.

Whether you’re a patient or sharing the story of a loved one, your voice can help lawmakers and community leaders understand why access to care matters and inspire others to seek the dental care they deserve. 

Real Stories Have the Power to Create Change

Who can share a story?

You’re invited to participate if:

  • You are a current or former MCDC patient
  • You are a caregiver, parent, or family member of an MCDC patient
  • You are a MCDC team member who has seen firsthand the impact of access to care

What will we do with your story?

With your permission, stories may be shared in advocacy materials, with policymakers, or publicly through social media and our website. By sharing your experience, you help highlight the importance of maintaining and expanding access to dental care for all Michiganders, no matter their insurance status.
