Developed with Rhode Island dental care providers, Good Dental Health: A Partnership Between You & Me covers the basics of good oral health. Each page is double sided and designed as a hands-on teaching tool:

• The patient-facing pages feature clear, simple text (in English and Spanish) and engaging pictures and illustrations to educate families.
• On the back of the patient–facing pages are helpful conversation guidelines for providers (English).
• The pages are laminated (making them wipeable for infection control) and bound with a metal ring that is easily opened to remove or re-order pages to your preference.

Oral health topics covered include:

• How does a cavity form?
• Early Childhood Caries
• Feeding practices: Nutrition & beverages
• Seal away the tooth decay 
• Toothbrushing tips
• Make clean teeth a habit
• Fluoride fights cavities
• Dental tips for pregnancy
• The importance (and safety!) of X-rays

The tool also includes an interactive ‘Oral Health Goals for Your Family’ chart, which will help you establish self-management goals for your patients to work on while at home.
