ABCD: Improving children’s access to care
Access to Baby and Child Dentistry (ABCD) puts young children across Washington state on a lifelong path to good oral health. ABCD connects low-income families with providers state-wide who know how to care for young children, focusing on prevention and avoiding tooth decay, as well as educating parents about how to take good care of their children’s teeth. If you would like to become part of the ABCD program, please contact the University of Washington ABCD Coordinator, Sara Stanley at stansara@uw.edu.
