    DENTEX is an Alaska based program that educates dental health aide therapists to provide dental care to Alaska Native communities. The program is a collaboration between the Alaska Native Health Consortium and the University of Washington School of Medicine Physician Assistant Training Program, MEDEX Northwest.

    Launched in 2007 as a collaborative effort between the Alaska Native Tribal Health Center and the University of Washington, DENTEX was developed to meet the oral health needs of native Alaskan people across 200 remote villages.

    In February, staff reflected on the last four years as we wrote our report narrative for WK Kellogg Foundation. We realized that in spite of some extreme setbacks, Alaska DHAT has accomplished its objectives, and then some: in villages currently served by DHATs, over 35,000 more people in rural Alaska now have access to oral healthcare.

DHAT Profile

Ben StewardBased in Tok

Employed by Tanana Chief’s Conference

It has been nearly three years since I graduated the DENTEX program. T.C.C. hired me and moved me to Tok, which is a perfect fit for my family and lifestyle. It is a small town on the road system, a great mix of the things I love about the bush yet still accessible to the comforts the city has to offer. Work as a DHAT remains as fun and exciting as I had felt it would. Every day is different; I never know what kind of work I will be doing till it’s done. The people that work in the clinic with me are amazingly fun to work with. On top of that the people of the community are just as fun and interesting to get to know.

Newsletters

Monthly newsletters provide highlights of the DHAT educational experience, focusing on both first and second year students at the Anchorage and Bethel training sites.  Faculty profiles and important visitors from Alaska and the lower 48 states with interest in the Program are also highlighted.
