The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) School Oral Health Program (SOHP) began as a fluoride-rinse program in the 1970s and has taken several forms since, always intending to improve student's oral health outcomes.
In its current stage, the program functions as a network of school-based providers who focus on making oral well-being accessible to all of Maine’s school children through preventative oral health services and education.
