This is an age-appropriate oral health care model that identifies the opportunity to promote healthy behaviors at the point of care. The practice model is developed to teach this alternative way of rendering oral and dental health care to families, caregivers and health professionals to help caregivers to establish an effective routine of brushing the teeth of infants and toddlers promptly after dining; encourage more dental providers to endear one-year-old patient populations; help reduce the incidence of early childhood caries; and empower caregivers, dentists and other dental professionals.

Learning Objectives:

Learn infant and toddler wellbeing guidance talking points for oral health professionals.
Use Tender Toothbrushing™ while infants and toddlers are seated in the high chair in the dental office
View how the Pee Wee Prophy™ is performed on infants and toddlers in the dental office
Understand how to pursue comprehensive dental reimbursement for the infant and toddler patient populations
