Every child in the U.S. should receive routine, comprehensive care for their oral health needs. That care begins by establishing a dental home with a provider. The earlier in life this relationship starts, the better a child’s ability to learn about and receive the benefits of preventive care to help avoid oral disease. Although millions of people see their primary care provider every year, many millions more do not have a dental home for regular care. With your help, we can improve this gap by integrating oral health with primary care. Studies show when they’re combined, access to oral care improves. It’s a win-win for your patients’ whole health.

The fundamental purpose of the Dental Home Playbook is to help eliminate oral disease in children. By connecting this information to providers like you, together, we can prevent the early onset of dental disease and remove barriers to health equity for lifelong health.
