From the First Tooth
From the First Tooth is a pediatric oral health initiative promoting the oral health of infants, children, and young adults in primary care. It is now standard for medical providers to be involved in pediatric oral health; they can apply fluoride varnish and silver diamine fluoride to prevent and arrest tooth decay in children in a setting where more children are likely to receive health care than a dental office. However, primary care practices require ongoing support to integrate this care into their workflow and train providers in the delivery of oral health services since this is not often included in medical school training. FTFT provides the ongoing support needed to ensure all children and young people can receive this care in the primary care setting.
