Martin County Early Childhood<br />

Dental Network<br />

The Martin County Early Childhood Dental Network (MCECDN) is a collaborative<br />

project of the Early Childhood Initiative sponsored through Southern Minnesota<br />

Initiative Foundation. MCECDN is designed to increase awareness and education<br />

to all children and their caregivers about the importance of oral health, and to promote<br />

accessing dental care, specifically to the 0-5 population.<br />

Did you know that childhood tooth decay is the most chronic, yet preventable,<br />

infectious disease in children? 50 percent of tooth decay in low income children<br />

goes untreated. MCECDN partners are working to make a difference to the<br />

children in this area through education and improving access to early dental care.<br />

MCECDN partners include local dentists, public health, community education<br />

programs, ECFE, school nurses, preschools, Head Starts, family services,<br />

health care and other interested partners & individuals. Materials, tooth care products,<br />

presentations and displays are available. For more information on how you<br />

can be part of this initiative or request a presentation or display, please contact the<br />

Martin County Early Childhood Dental Network at 507-235-3141.<br />
