In
the community, the Division of Periodontology is committed to
supporting the OPTIONS Program. The Dental OPTIONS program is an
affiliation between the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio
Dental Association and involves dentists who volunteer their time
and money to improve the oral health of Ohioans who may not have
access to oral health resources. This program links the Division of Periodontology to qualified people in need of periodontal treatment.
