Interventions

OTHER

Oral Health Care Early Intervention Project

The intervention group will receive routine preventive dental care, 2 to 4 times per year depending on risk of caries. The intervention group will also receive pre-scheduling, reminders, and care coordination by the dental hygienist. The control group will receive usual care, but will not receive pre-scheduling, reminders, or care coordination by the dental hygienist. In order to determine the incidence of early childhood caries at study enrollment, both intervention and control groups will receive a standardized oral examination with an assessment of caries presence and extent on the day of enrollment, at 12 months and at 24 months after enrollment. Both children in the control group and intervention group will be referred to a dentist if found to need restorative care.
