Create Your Own Infant Oral Health Program "Flip Charts"
An Infant Oral Health Program can now be started by any dental or health clinic. The aim of an Infant Oral Health Program is to prevent early childhood caries and its destructive effects.

A series of reference charts is now available to dental and health practitioners, so that they will know how to start such a program. These "flip charts" clearly show what to do at baby's first dental visit, and at the periodic oral health visits thereafter.

There are six basic pages that need to be printed-out so you can make your own reference charts. Just click on the following links:
1. 6 Steps For Baby's First Dental Visit
2. 10 Simple Ways You Can Protect Your Baby’s Smile
3. Caries Risk Assessment Tool (CAT)
4. Anticipatory Guidance Schedule
5. Proper Brushing Diagram
6. Food Pyramid Chart

These "flip charts" can then be printed, laminated, connected by a ring, and referred-to every day in your clinic.

Just click on Picture of the Flip Charts to see the final product!
