Printer-friendly version |
 The Commission considers oral health a critical part of the overall healthy growth and development of a child. Given timely new data and legislation, the Commission is now building on its investments in this area as well as working with other partners on various emerging strategic leveraging and sustainability opportunities. At the September 2007 Commission meeting, the Board approved the $20 million Oral Health Community Development (OHCD) Project that aims to prevent dental decay in children through community water fluoridation and related public education and advocacy activities. First 5 LA's OHCD Project is based upon the Commission's priority to improve children's oral health. Additional funding cycles will be available in the future.
