Community Engagement and Action
Develop a model for the implementation of sound, evidence-based strategies to reduce early childhood caries in individual communities.
Local Level Premise Dental disease is preventable.
There are evidence-based strategies that reduce dental disease.
It is possible to leverage existing community assets to implement those strategies in a way that reduces dental disease in a population.
