The Oral Health Initiative provides dental checkups and treatment for young children and pregnant women. A healthy mouth, including teeth and gums, is essential to the overall health of infants, children and adults.

Dental disease can have serious and expensive consequences for children if left untreated. These include pain, infections, difficulty eating, and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, talking, concentrating, and may even miss school.

Good dental health is important for pregnant women, too. The bacteria from the mother's tooth decay can affect the health of her unborn child.

First 5 San Diego Oral Health programs include:

• Dental checkups and treatment for young children and pregnant women
• Oral Health education for parents and caregivers, and dental/medical providers
