Abstract

Researchers partnered with the Homewood Community Engagement Center to develop a community driven infant oral health program, “Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me”, that met community needs by utilizing collaborator involvement and building community partnerships. The intervention was two-fold. Firstly, interprofessional training sessions for dentistry, medicine, nurse practitioner and social work trainees in infant oral health and dental caries prevention were developed and conducted. Secondly, interprofessional trainees had the opportunity to observe virtual televisits for families with children under 3 years living in Homewood. The interprofessional training sessions and family televisit provided education specific to the needs identified by the community partners.
