Description

Introduction The Dental Health Education and Community Dentistry Program at West Virginia University involves first-year dental hygiene and dental students in the provision of dental education to West Virginians. Students present tailored, targeted oral hygiene programs to meet various needs throughout the state. A significant amount of education is directed to reaching parents and guardians of young children to help in the effort against early childhood caries and caries in newly erupted permanent teeth. Public service announcements discuss oral hygiene, particularly in February during Children's Oral Health Month. Companies that sell toothpaste and toothbrushes ask people in their advertisements to brush twice a day and floss daily. Despite educational efforts, the bulletin Trends in Oral Health Status: United States 1999-2004 reported the national caries rate in children age 2-5 is 28%, and the prevalence of decay in permanent teeth in children age 6-11 is 21%. (1) The most recent oral evaluation survey of West Virginia children was in 1998. The results showed 47% of children age 8-18 had caries in their permanent teeth. (2)
