Fluoride treatment and sealants reduce caries –Children at risk should receive a fluoride treatment every six months Caries decrease 24.2%* –Place sealants when children are at the highest risk of developing caries Ages six to eight: first molars Ages 12 to 14: second molars** Caries decrease year %; year %; year %** *Source: ADA Council on Scientific Affairs JADA, Vol 137 August 2006 **Source: ADA Council on Scientific Affairs JADA Vol 138 March 2008

6 Sealants Are Underutilized There is a major opportunity to enhance the use of sealants and improve oral health. Analysis of the claims of one client shows only 16% of the 26,112 children ages 6-7 who visited a dentist over the last 12 months got sealants. –Best practice would be 100%. –The Department of Health and Human Services goal is 50%.

7 How Program Will Work Reports and tracking mechanisms are provided from claims data to help identify your young patients who are at risk and would benefit from preventive services including fluoride and sealants. Ongoing reports generated every 6 months will help you track the progress of treatment including sealant and fluoride placement for your patients, protecting them from tooth decay and improving their oral health for life.
