Kansas State Historical Museum in Topeka
10 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Fluoride varnish has been found to be effective in preventing caries on permanent teeth. Fluoride varnish also has recently been shown to prevent or reduce caries in the primary teeth of young children.
How are we doing in expanding utilization in Kansas of this proven technique to reduce decay, especially in children?
What are the opportunities to expand application of fluoride varnish in dental offices, medical practices, social service sites and other settings?
The Fluoride Varnish Mini-Summit is a day to explore these and other questions about fluoride varnish with dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, nurses, physicians, physicians’ assistants, nurse practitioners, oral health advocates, early child care leaders, office practice managers, insurers, and community leaders. The Summit is not a clinical training but focuses on policy and operational issues.
Tracy Garland, former president of Washington Dental Services Foundation and a leader in developing new delivery systems for fluoride varnish in Washington State, will facilitate our day.
Hold the date for this intersting and important event!
