Find our ORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS

First 5 San Diego's Oral Health Initiative (OHI) provides no cost dental checkups 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, including pain, infections, difficulty eating, and tooth loss.  Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, talking, and concentrating. 

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 for young children ages 0 through 5 and pregnant women
• Oral Health education for parents and caregivers, and dental/medical providers

To get connected to dental services supported by First 5 San Diego call an OHI provider near you or call 1-888-5 FIRST 5 (1-888-534-7785).
