Intervention Results:

Preliminary data suggest promising results. Among the approximately 3,900 children served by the three pilot locations, 573 children (14 percent) received an oral health screening; 175 (31 percent) of those children were under age one. Of those screened, 48 children (8 percent) had untreated decay, 490 (86 percent) received a fluoride varnish application, and 80 (14 percent) received a dental sealant. A total of 857 pregnant women are served in the WIC program across all three pilot locations. Out of those women, 123 (14 percent) received an oral health screening. Of those screened, 88 (72 percent) showed untreated decay, and 46 (37 percent) were referred to a dentist for urgent needs. Out of the women who received an oral health screening, 114 (93 percent) received a fluoride varnish application, and 92 (75 percent) received sealants.
