Oral Health Program

Mission

To achieve optimal oral health for all by eliminating oral health disparities in Rhode Island.

What we do

  • Increase oral health messages delivered to Rhode Islanders across the lifespan.
  • Continue promotion of SEAL RI! (school-based dental sealants) program.
  • Maintain effective Community Water Fluoridation in Rhode Island public water systems.
  • Increase the number of children under two years of age who have a preventive oral health visit.

Accomplishments

  • Hosted the 2017 RI Prenatal & Pediatric Dentistry Mini-Residency for 110 oral health professionals for the past eleven years. This Mini-Residency increases the career opportunities for oral health professionals and access to the marginalized communities.
