The Children’s Basic Oral Health Screening Training, created by the Indiana Department of Health in partnership with McMillen Health, is designed to enhance oral health education among school nurses and non-dental professionals. This training equips participants with the knowledge and tools to perform basic oral health screenings for school-aged children, with a focus on identifying early signs of tooth decay. It underscores the importance of early detection in improving children’s overall health and ensuring timely dental care. The screenings aim to identify obvious signs of decay or other visible oral health issues, promoting early intervention and better health outcomes for students.
