Cavity Free Kids is a long-standing training program that focuses on oral health education for young children – from birth through age 5. It is designed for use in Head Start, child care, preschool, and other programs. It includes a rich collection of lessons, activities, stories, and songs that actively engage young children in fun-filled, play-based learning and can be easily adapted to many ages and stages. Attendees will receive a free copy of the Cavity Free Kids curriculum book, and a chance to win materials and resources for your program.

Participants will learn:

• What causes cavities and how to work with families to prevent them.
