Effective oral hygiene education programs should not only address toothpaste use, brushing, flossing, and nutrition, but also early preventive care, which many children do not receive. Children from households of lower socioeconomic status are reported to have more oral health problems, some of which are related to accessing care, than children from households of higher socioeconomic status.6 Approximately 66% of children nationally receive 1 yearly preventive dental visit - the very young often do not receive any dental care.There are many factors for children not receiving dental
care: lack of interest by the parent or guardian, distance to a dental office,
lack of transportation, and inability to pay for care. Without the opportunity to receive instructions, some parents may not learn of ways to improve their child’s oral health and well-being. Outreach educational programs are initiated to help bridge the gap, provide convenient locations for educational opportunities, and encourage follow-up dental visits. These programs are becoming increasingly important to meet people’s needs with quality information about preventive care.
