The arcora foundation (the foundation), a wholly owned subsidiary of ddwa, supported almost exclusively by ddwa, focuses much of their work on communities experiencing oral health disparities, including children and seniors, and works closely with partner organizations to develop and implement innovative programs that improve oral health. The access to baby and child dentistry (abcd) system of care expands access to Dental care for young medicaid insured children under six in Washington state by providing Dental services, both preventative and restorative. In counties with abcd, the utilization of Dental services increased from 21% to 51% from 1997 to 2021.
