Childhood tooth decay is Public Health Enemy #1 in America! Are you ready to rise to the task to defeat tooth decay in your community?

Each community has its own unique challenges when it comes to good oral health. Solutions that work in one region may not fix the issues in another. To make an impact in all of our nation’s communities we need heroes to step up and take action! Will YOU join the fight?

America’s ToothFairy has resources available for those reaching groups of children through educational outreach and oral health projects. Resources can include educational materials and kits, and project partnership opportunities.
The ToothFairy 101® Community Education Kit is a comprehensive oral health curriculum. It provides hands-on learning for children and youth (ages 4 and up), as well as adults. The Kit provides 12 scripted lessons appropriate for classrooms, daycare centers, after-school programs, and even locations where adults are receiving services who may benefit from understanding how oral health impacts overall health.
The Kit is designed to equip anyone interacting with children, youth, and parents/caregivers with an easy-to-use tool for oral health education. You do not need to have an oral health education background to use the Kit, but you must agree to collect matched pre- and post-tests on at least 70% of the children reached with the kit.
