An elementary school in New Hampshire has introduced a unique cavity prevention program in collaboration with NYU College of Dentistry. The program, known as CariedAway New Hampshire, aims to enhance pediatric oral health, particularly among children from lower-income families. As part of this initiative, a portable dental clinic was set up inside the school's teachers lounge, where students like 5-year-old Amber Warner received their first dental check-ups.
The certified public health dental hygienist administered traditional dental sealants to Amber, ensuring her teeth were well-protected against cavities. The entire process, including a quick flossing session, lasted only 15 minutes, leaving Amber feeling like a dental pro on her inaugural visit.
