IDPH: Office of Health Promotion

Health and well-being include all aspects and parts of the body, including the mouth. Good oral health supports life-long health and achievements in education, employment, and social relationships. Unfortunately, tooth decay or dental caries (cavities), a bacterially mediated processes that infect many children and in the United States is responsible for many of the 51 million school hours lost per year because of dental-related illness, which translates into lost work hours for the adult caregiver. Therefore, failure to prevent dental caries has health, educational, financial, and economic consequences at the individual and societal levels. Through this initiative, IDPH will reach front-line, public health-minded pediatricians with preparatory education and training readying them to respond to common urgent general and oral health problems. This initiative will strengthen the safety net of care and prepare the front-line healthcare workforce to meet the urgent healthcare and prevention needs of Illinois’ vulnerable children during public health emergencies. Engaging and preparing this workforce will prevent backsliding in access to timely care enabling quick and successful recovery efforts. This non-competitive grant award will support programmatic funding to maintain and sustain the Bright Smiles from Birth II program. The Bright Smiles from Birth II Oral Health Training Grant provides funds to outreach, train, educate and incorporate oral health intervention into the workflow of primary care providers that care for infants and young children. This opportunity seeks to improve oral health status through incorporation of oral health promotion, prevention, risk assessment, providing of anticipatory guidance and necessary tools that enable parent/caregiver action, including the application of fluoride varnish, and coordination to professional oral care all in efforts to improve the oral health status and limit impact of oral disease in infants and young children.
