MCD Global Health has several oral health initiatives striving to improve children’s oral health and overall health. As an active member of the Children’s Oral Health Network of Maine (COHN), our team collaborates with other health, school, and community partners statewide to support the delivery of innovative preventive and early intervention oral health services to children in Maine to increase access to care.
Prevent Dental Disease in Children with Dental Steps for ME
Dental Steps for ME includes a free, oral health video library with one video correlating with each well-child benchmark from 2 months to age 5, plus an introduction to the series that could even be used prenatally. This library was produced by MCD in support of medical dental integration (MDI) efforts championed by COHN’s Health Integration Action Team.
