Welcome

The Lifelong Smiles Coalition was formed to increase the access to oral health care for older Iowans. The group consists of state agencies, advocacy organizations, trade associations, health professionals, academic institutions, and funders.

In addition to strategic planning to create sustainable ways to help this population, Coalition members are working to improve education and training, care coordination, and policies.
