Why worry about oral health?

  • Dental disease is the most common chronic childhood disease.
  • While all kids are at risk for dental decay, low income families suffer twice as much oral disease and are more likely to be untreated.
  • Pain and suffering from untreated dental disease can lead to problems eating, speaking, and learning.

Who benefits from
Cavity Free Kids?

  • Families with infants, toddlers and preschoolers
  • Head Start, state preschool programs, child care, and other early learning settings
  • Pregnant women

Dental disease is preventable!

The Cavity Free Kids curriculum is designed to equip early learning educators, teachers, home visitors, parents and children to help prevent tooth decay.
