The Texas Oral Health Coalition

What The Texas Oral Health Coalition does

The Texas Oral Health Coalition (TxOHC) is a Texas-based nonprofit statewide collaborative founded in 2004 and incorporated as a 501(c)-style organization in 2008. In 2025, TxOHC became part of Texas Health Institute, which now serves as the administrative home for the coalition's team and work. The organization's stated mission is to advance oral health for all Texans through policy, education, research, and advocacy, with priorities including access to timely and affordable care, prevention-oriented public health, and integration of oral and overall health.

TxOHC does not sell products or services. Its portfolio consists of (1) the Texas Health Insights Data Dashboard, an interactive platform surfacing oral health data and visualizations for Texas; (2) an annual Summit (held in Austin, TX in June 2026) that convenes clinicians, public health agencies, academic institutions, professional associations, coalitions, and community-based organizations; (3) educational programming including the Whole-Child Health webinar, perinatal oral health webinars (Whole-Person Care During and After Pregnancy, Oral Health and the Perinatal Journey), and a Learning Collaborative on Communication and Community Engagement; and (4) research publications including the 2026 Texas Oral Health Universe Data Brief and an oral health equity report. In 2026, TxOHC also published content on artificial intelligence and oral health policy.

TxOHC is governed by a statewide advisory committee and operated as a multi-sector coalition led by Texas Health Institute. Its funding model is consistent with a nonprofit advocacy body — grants, donations, and parent-organization support — with no commercial pricing, headcount disclosure, or financial statements provided in source materials. The coalition serves as a convening and intelligence body for Texas's oral health ecosystem rather than as a product vendor, and its primary deliverables are distributed free of charge.
