Strategy 2.1
Expand the number of dental providers offering pediatric specific preventative oral
health services via professional development programs.
Tactic: Children’s Hospital Colorado and its partners on the Anschutz Medical
Campus will offer a variety of courses for practicing dentists and dental hygienists
with an emphasis on trending topics in pediatric oral health and infant oral health
care. Annual seminars and updates, poster presentations, interdisciplinary oral health
research presentations and research studies based on Cavity-Free at Three program
activities have been published and well attended within the community. Children’s
Hospital Colorado will also sponsor many opportunities for professional education
courses including oral health seminars for School and Community Nurses, Public
Health Professionals, Perinatal and Obstetric Nurses and Pediatric Physicians.
