PERINATAL

The West Virginia Oral Health Coalition recognizes and advocates that good health of a mother is essential to the health and development of a child. An essential part of basic overall health is ensuring good oral health of a mother. This is a cost effective strategy to ensure that newborns and children under the age of two start life on a healthy course. Providing oral health care to a mother will both potentially keep her healthier and improve the health status of the next generation of West Virginians.
