Oral Health Program

Tooth decay is the most prevalent chronic health problem among children in California. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 40% of children have decay before entering kindergarten. Due to these alarming statistics, First 5 Placer and the California Department of Public Health is funding the efforts of Placer County's Public Health Division to address this largely preventable health issue. The Placer County Oral Health Program focuses on promoting preventive dental care knowledge and access to early preventive dental services with the aim of boosting the number of Placer County's residents who remain cavity-free.
