Community Advisory Committee

We want to hear your ideas for helping more people in California have healthy smiles. We are inviting members to join our Community Advisory Committee so you can share your thoughts and help shape the services and programs that support your community.

Every 3 months, we come together to check in on how things are going and explore ways we can make our services even better for families in your community. Community Advisory Committee meetings give you a chance to discuss your concerns, ask questions and share your thoughts on how we are doing.

  • Community Advisory Committee Meetings are held 4 times a year.
  • Meetings happen online using Zoom or MS Teams.
  • Interpreters will be provided upon request.
  • Active California Dental Managed Care DentaQuest Members can receive $100 for each quarterly meeting they attend as an officially selected Community Advisory Committee Member for a maximum of 4 meetings per year. Members are required to be eligible for services at the time of the meeting and to participate for the duration of each meeting in order to receive payment. This payment is only a benefit for plan members who have received an official notice that they have been selected.
