Abstract

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) coordinated an oral health survey of children 4 years of age and younger enrolled in Iowa’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) from June 1 through August 31, 2019. Dental screenings are routinely provided at WIC clinics through I-SmileTM, the oral health component of Iowa’s Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) program. This report describes the importance, survey methods and results of this oral health survey, in addition to the impact of I-SmileTM on children’s oral health in Iowa.
