An Oral Health Curriculum Prepared by The Connecticut State Dental Association- "Connecticut Cares about Oral Health"

Included is a link to the Connecticut State Dental Association's (CSDA) oral health lesson plans for Pre-K-12grade. 
  • The lesson objectives align with the CT State Dept of Education's Healthy and Balanced Living Curriculum Framework. 
  • These lessons are designed for non health educators and presenters but the objectives, content, and activities can serve as a resource to students and RDH's.
The aim of this project was to meet one of the objectives in the CT Oral Heatlh Plan.
