Description | This issue brief examines and describes oral health, focusing on Delaware’s children. It concludes that to improve oral health outcomes for all children, Delaware must adopt a multi-faceted approach that includes expanded partnerships, creative services and investments. The most meaningful and effective behavior change in new and expecting parents comes from direct patient interactions with trusted healthcare providers. It is critically important that pediatricians and family physicians start the discussion with parents about cavity prevention early, including regular dental visits by a child’s first birthday. | en_US |
