This project will equip rural Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) staff in dental professional health shortage areas with the education and tools necessary to support good oral health among their clients at an early age. By engaging WIC staff in the Brush! oral health curriculum training and providing a list of dental providers that accept Healthy Kids Dental insurance, Altarum aims to increase dental referrals and preventive dental visits to a population and age group that may not otherwise have access to these resources, providing an innovative framework for a statewide expansion in Michigan, as well as to other states.
