PEDIATRIC CAVITIES are the most com-
mon chronic disease in children of all ages.
Cavities can have lifetime effects on edu-
cation, earning potential and social interac-
tions. Current statistics report that 52% of
children, ages 6-9 in Oregon have experi-
enced tooth decay. Children in Grant County
are at a higher risk for tooth decay than the
state average because we don’t have fluori-
dated drinking water in our county. Living in
a rural location and having a lower income
also doubles the risk of dental caries for our
children. Bringing oral health care into pri-
mary care is one way to help reduce the cost
of dental treatment through screening and
low cost fluoride varnish application. Starting
October 11, we will be integrating oral health
screening into our pediatric well child checks
at Strawberry Wilderness Community Clin-
ic. Based on their screening; patients may
be eligible for fluoride varnish in our office.
Families will receive preventative education,
and dental referrals will be made as appropri-
ate. We look forward to providing these new
services to our pediatric patients to improve
their overall health and quality of care.
