Oral Health Caucus

In 2002, the Friends of the NIDCR worked closely in conjunction with Reps. Mike Simpson, DDS; John Linder, DDS; and the late Charles Norwood, DDS; to form the Congressional Oral Health Caucus.  The Caucus is dedicated to providing a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas on oral health care and research.  The Caucus sponsors briefings, legislative seminars, and similar educational programs.

The Congressional Oral Health Caucus is a bipartisan body of legislators committed to supporting crucial federal dental and oral health research initiatives and providing vital dental health services to our nation.

Below is a list of the members of the Congressional Oral Health Caucus.
