| 19 | A Fluoride Connection Non... | Madison | WI | United States | Non-Profit Organization | Profile | Web | |
| Mission | "Keeping Teeth Healthy One Child At A Time". This is our mission statement. We are a 501(c)3 tax-exempt public charity and we were founded on 9/1/2006. We provide free oral examinations/screenings, brushing instruction, fluoride varnish application and referral on children suspected of having decay. We see the children two to four times per school year. We use a "fluoride varnish" as it is very sticky and adheres to the teeth much better than the fluoride provided at a typical dental office. Fluoride varnish reduces decay and can stay in the tiny cracks and grooves of a tooth for up to three or four months. Our goal is to reduce/eliminate decay in the primary (baby teeth) and permanent teeth of the people (children) we serve. Providing fluoride treatments in this fashion has been done in Europe and Canada for over 30 years with great success. When we started we saw about a 50 percent decay rate in the children. Five years later we are at about a three to five percent decay rate. So it really works! The success is very measurable. | ||||||
