The National Oral Health Information Clearinghouse (NOHIC), a service of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, is ready to help meet oral health information needs for special care patients.
Many Americans have medical or disabiling conditions that compromise oral health. The National Oral Health Information Clearinghouse (NOHIC) is a resource for patients, health professionals, and the public seeking information on the oral health of these special care patients. NOHIC gathers and disseminates
information from many sources, including voluntary health organizations, educational institutions, government agencies, and
industry.
NOHIC produces and distributes patient and professional education materials including fact sheets, brochures, and information packets. NOHIC also sponsors the Oral Health Database, which includes bibliographic citations, abstracts, and availability information for a wide variety of print and audiovisual materials. NOHIC staff provide free custom or standard searches on specific special care topics in oral health.
