Bilingual oral health training curriculum for lay health workers. It focuses on preventing common dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease and the barriers that keep farmworkers from being able to enjoy good dental health. The curriculum provides detailed lessons and activities for training lay health workers on dental health issues that can be shared with their communities. The training includes basic information on dental hygiene, tooth decay, gum disease, baby bottle tooth decay, dental injuries, and extractions. This training is intended for lay health workers and the length of training varies depending on the needs of the organization. At this time we do not have any educational materials that accompany it, but keep checking back with us as we may have some in the future
