In collaboration with oral health and child health advocates and policymakers, CDHP seeks solutions to prevent childhood tooth decay, because cavities are the result of a disease that is overwhelmingly preventable. Using the best best available evidence-based research, CDHP engages key players at every level to address the ongoing inequities in oral health and to implement the most cost-effective solutions.
