Schools and school nurses can play a role in enhancing children's oral health. Through education, screening, and preventative care we can improve oral health for all people in Maine.
The Children's Oral Health Network of Maine has collaborated with school nurses and other partners to create a toolkit. the School-Based Oral Health Toolkit A Resource for School Nurses.
American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes the role of schools in oral health and outline the components of an effective school based program.
