Piedmont Health Services has begun a new program that aims to get more children in central North Carolina to visit the dentist.
The program involves training Piedmont’s dental staff on care of young children and intervention with parents. It also involves setting up an internal referral system so that children receiving medical care are also referred for dental care. Annetta Streater, Piedmont’s child dental home coordinator, will oversee the program. Streater is also a member of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education.
If you are interested in having your child seen in the dental department of the Carrboro community health center, call 933-9087.
