The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recognizes infant oral health care as a foundation for offering preventive education and dental care that can enhance the opportunity for a lifetime free from preventable oral diseases. This presentation seeks to provide practical, everyday solutions to implement infant oral health care program in private practice. Aim of implementing the perinatal and infant health in every dental practice is to reduce prevalence of oral disease in pregnant women and infants, increase preventive care and most importantly establish a dental home for infants by age 1. Presentation is based on the best evidence available at this time and provides strategies to implement the program in a busy private practice. Among the different strategies implemented was the care coordination among ObGyn, pediatrician and dentist. Dental check is advised as part of every well baby check. All this is done taking care of various cultural issues as we serve both local and expat community in Shanghai.
