- Children’s Dental Health Project: The Children’s Dental Health Project (CDHP) works to create and advance innovative policy solutions to achieve oral health for all children. In collaboration with oral health and child health advocates and policymakers, CDHP seeks solutions to prevent childhood tooth decay, because cavities are the result of a disease that is overwhelmingly preventable. Using the best best available evidence-based research, CDHP engages key players at every level to address the ongoing inequities in oral health and to implement the most cost-effective solutions.

Prevention works. Access to regular checkups, cleanings and protective treatments can catch dental problems early when they're easier and less costly to fix, reducing the need for more expensive and extensive remedies later on. #teethmatter
