A: CARE
Through Brush. Brush. Smile!®, St. Joseph Health Ministries improves the availability of dental services for low income children. The 40-foot mobile dental clinic called the Brush Brush Bus visits all 16 school districts in Lancaster County annually. Additionally, we have instituted a county-wide sealant program.
B: Education
We have developed an elementary-aged oral health curriculum for use in the classroom that includes fun activities, games and one-on-one health education. The goal is to teach children the importance of brushing, flossing and proper nutrition. Brush. Brush. Smile!® also demonstrates that there is nothing to fear when going to see the dentist. Each year we visit classrooms in every Lancaster County school district. We also work with parents/guardians, new mothers, nurses, pediatricians, and social workers.

C: Connect
The goal of Brush. Brush. Smile!® Connect is to help the children who have been seen on the Brush Brush Bus gain access to a dentist within their own communities on a more regular basis. Participating dental practices throughout Lancaster County have each agreed to see 2-5 children.

D: Families
Brush. Brush. Smile!® has a significant impact on families in Lancaster County. Comments:
