IMESD working to improve oral health among youth
BY MAEGAN MURRAY
HERMISTON HERALD
Oregon has one of the
highest incidents of den-
tal disease among chil-
dren, and in Umatilla
County, officials hope to
change that.
The
InterMountain
Education Service Dis-
trict was recently award-
ed a $30,000 grant from
the Oregon Communi-
ty Foundation to plan a
comprehensive
dental
health program organiz-
ers hope to implement in
Umatilla County schools.
Cathy Wamsley, who is
doing some consulting
work for the IMESD on
the program, said one of
the requirements of the
grant is the program in-
clude a multitude of ser-
vices to support children
in grades kindergarten
through eighth grade.
In the grant applica-
tion, program plans in-
cluded performing annual
oral health screenings,
sealants and fluoride
varnishes, oral hygiene
health education for stu-
dents, dental supply kits
and referrals to dentists.
“We don’t have one
of those going in the
schools, as of yet,” she
said. “We got a planning
grant of what this will
look like and what will be
in the schools. There are
lots of ideas. It could look
like a school-based health
center in the schools with
hygienists visiting and
providing some of those
services.”
Wamsley said organiz-
ers are putting together a
planning committee are
currently identifying or-
ganizations as potential
partners.
They will then have un-
til February 2016 to come
up with a solid plan for the
comprehensive program,
Wamsley said. They will
“The earlier we can start,
the more we can do.”

then submit an applica-
tion for another grant to
implement the program,
which could fund $70,000
per year for the ¿rst three
years and up to $60,000
in year four with a re-
quirement to locally raise
$10,000 to support the
start of a dental program.
Wamsley
said
the
grant funds would target
schools at least half of
students eligible for free
and reduced lunches and
schools in communities
with higher risk for den-
tal issues.
At the end of the plan-
ning period, officials
hope to have formed
partnerships from orga-

school. It is hard to learn
to have self esteem when
you have an oral health
problem.”
Wamsley said with the
program, organizers hope
to identify dental issues
in children early so they
can get their teeth fixed
and have greater chances
of educational success.
“It is always exciting
when we get to work with
a great foundation like
the Oregon Community
Foundation,” she said.
“This dental health initia-
tive that they have started
will really make a differ-
ence. The ESD is really
excited to get a planning
grant.”

nizations throughout the
region to implement the
program. Officials also
intend for the plan to
coordinate with the den-
tal health activities that
the Blue Mountain Early
Learning Hub is provid-
ing for parents of children
0 to age 5.
Wamsley said the hope
is by targeting and sup-
porting families with
children from ages 0 to
eighth grade, the number
of youth with dental dis-
ease will be reduced.
“The earlier we can
start, the more we can
do,” she said.
According to numbers
provided by the Center
for Disease Control, 35.4
percent of third-graders
in Oregon have untreated
tooth decay, which is one
of the highest rates in the
nation.
If left untreated, Wams-
ley said children can ex-
perience tooth aches and
other serious ailments,
which can lead to absen-
teeism and other issues.
“Oral health is a big is-
sue for young children,”
she said. “If (dental dis-
ease) goes untreated or
not identified, it can
cause a lot of pain, which
can cause students to miss
