The goal of this program is to improve the oral health status of infants and young children, through clinic workflow, provider education, training, provision of preventive services and referral to a dental home for dental care within six months of the eruption of the first tooth or by age 1, as per recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists. As reported by American Academy of Pediatrics, the 2007–2016 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data demonstrated that 88.8% of infants and 1-year-olds have office-based physician visits annually, compared with only 3.6% of infants and 1-year-olds having general dental visits. 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.
