North Carolina Launches Head Start Dental Home Initiative

Reensboro, North Carolina-- The North Carolina Head Start-State Collaboration Office and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), today announced the launch of the Head Start Dental Home Initiative to improve oral health for North Carolina children.

The program links 22,000 children birth to age 5 in the state's Head Start and Early Head Start programs to local dentists who will provide them with a "dental home" that offers comprehensive, ongoing oral health care delivered in a family-centered way. It will also equip parents, caregivers and Head Start staff with the latest information on the prevention of tooth decay.
