#OralHealthMatters:
A Primer on School-based Oral Health Programs

Presented by
Gail Brown, JD, MSW
Executive Director, NH Oral Health Coalition

@ 4:30 via Zoom
1 Contact Hour

Join us for an informational training on the importance of school-based oral health and dental programs. Did you know that dental decay (cavities, caries) is the #1 chronic disease in children in NH and the US? Dental decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth, is transmissible from person to person, impairs individual learning, and is a source of classroom disruption. Most importantly, decay is preventable and the school-environment provides an easily accessed and affordable solution for all children. School-nurses, teachers, and principals are central to school-based programs. Learn how YOU can make a difference!
