Community & Collaboration Bite
Dental Access Coalition (DAC)
The DAC met in October to provide updates and discuss dental care barriers that members and those they serve are currently facing. Our next meeting will be held virtually on January 27, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM. If you’re interested in joining the coalition or just want to learn more, contact Brittany at bbevissciuto@snohd.org.
Infant Oral Health Training for Direct Service Staff
In September, the Snohomish County ABCD team held a training for staff at a local WIC clinic. Our ABCD champion (a dedicated local provider) reviewed infant oral health basics and shared practical advice for helping clients adopt healthy oral health behaviors. The training was followed up with a dental resource supply drop.
Community outreach and education are essential components of the ABCD program. Are you looking for a staff or client training on child and/or infant oral health? Don’t hesitate to reach out to the Snohomish County ABCD Coordinator at bbevissciuto@snohd.org.
