About Us
Tooth Talk is an easy-to-use website that gives childcare providers, parents, and healthcare and other professionals information on improving young children’s dental health. A collaboration of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the NC Division of Public Health Oral Health Section, this website is a clearinghouse of good tips, handy resources, expert answers to frequently asked questions, and short, helpful videos designed to protect kids’ healthy smiles. Tooth Talk was part of the Brushing Is Fun, Start By Age 1 initiative, which was funded by a grant from The Duke Endowment through the Foundation for Health Leadership & Innovation.
