Brush-In program to star fluoride education for West Virginia youths
About 50 000 school children in southern West Virginia will receive stannous fluoride through brush-in demonstrations in Raleigh County Elementary schools starting December. Five dental technicians will teach proper brushing as youths use fluoride toothpaste, with each child keeping the toothbrush. The project expands to eight counties, aided by the regional health council and Dr John Wilson, and aims to reach 150 to 200 children daily at a cost of 35 cents per child.
