FOCUS: To increase preventive services to children insured by public program in order to decrease disparities in caries rates within our HealthPartners pediatric dental patients.  

OBJECTIVE: To ensure all public programs' pediatric patients (who are at a higher risk for caries), receive a sealant, (preventative service) to reduce the incidence of caries.

HOW WILL OUR TEAM MEASURE OUR SUCCESS: We will analyze data produced in reports that have individual clinic results for each category.  Planning to produce these reports on a monthly basis

GOAL: Reach up to 20% at Each of their Recall Visits at the four clinics of focus By December 0f 2011.
