The purpose of the Migrant Health (MH) Dental Initiative for 1986 is to stimulate health centers to develop more efficient and relevant methods for: carries and periodontal disease risk assessment among children; referral of at-risk migrant children for specific primary dental prevention services; and providing appropriate preventive care to migrant children. Together these three activities comprise an adequate dental prevention service model for all migrant health programs.
