10. Oral Health Initiative Grantee Webinar Series: Partnerships/Capacity Building 10 Challenges Parental lack of education regarding early preventative services
Transportation
Cultural barriers and language differences
Lack of education in oral health prevention in early pregnancy
Lack of providers who accept Medicaid/CHIPS or children without insurance
Long wait to be seen by dentist
Parental fear of dentist
Teacher’s own apprehension of dentists
Limited access to dentists who see pregnant women
11. Oral Health Initiative Grantee Webinar Series: Partnerships/Capacity Building 11 Removing Challenges Funding from the Oral Health Initiative fund
Partner with public transportation to provide bus/train passes
Greater Fort Worth dental hygienists provide fluoride varnish to 7 sites twice a year
Greater Fort Worth dental hygienists and Children’s Oral Health Coalition educate teachers to remove their own apprehension from dental experiences
Dentists provide free exams to 7 sites twice a year
Children’s Oral Health Coalition provides a “Train the Trainer” to Head Start and Early Head Start staff, including mentor staff
MOUs with dentists who are open Saturday and on the bus line
MOUs with dentists who are bilingual; bilingual health staff
MOUs with dentists who can provide next day appointments
12. Oral Health Initiative Grantee Webinar Series: Partnerships/Capacity Building 12 Successes Teachers have better knowledge of preventative care.
Pregnant mothers can access early maternal oral care.
Because of frequent fluoride varnish and site visits, children are less fearful.
Donation of oral health supplies to all Head Start children and families, at least twice a year by the Children’s Oral Health Coalition, assists with home hygiene.
Bilingual translation by health staff, volunteer hygienists, and dentists assist with cultural barriers.
13. Oral Health Initiative Grantee Webinar Series: Partnerships/Capacity Building 13 Success Story: Center Director after “Train the Trainer”
Mom took ‘Jane’ to the dentist after the fluoride varnish and
dental exam per the volunteer dentist’s request. Jane’s dentist
then referred her to a specialty clinic in another city. Mom needed
a dentist close to her home.
I remembered that we had just received information from the
training on Tuesday. I used those resources plus I called Shea to
ask her for a few more. She called me back and together we
found mom a resource close and she has an appointment
tomorrow @10:30. I am so glad I went to the training.
Thank you again Sue for inviting me.
