Oral Health

Dental caries is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and is largely preventable. Left untreated, cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing, and learning. Pediatric primary care providers can play a critical role in maintaining the oral health of their patients.

This training helps pediatric primary care practices screen for dental decay, apply fluoride varnish to prevent decay, provide preventive counseling to caregivers, and become certified to bill for dental exams and fluoride varnish application.

Practices receive:

• Resources 
• Billing codes
• 1 CME credit
• Fluoride varnish starter kits and puppet
• Meal during the training
