A local school district is working to instill good dental habits in children in the face of unfavorable reports on oral health among adults in West Virginia. The West Virginia Oral Health Coalition Report Card for the year is out. It shows that 40% of adults over the age of 45 have lost six or more teeth because of tooth decay or gum disease. The report card grade is an F. When it comes to kids, the coalition’s report card shows West Virginia earn an A for the number of third graders with sealants on their permanent molars, and a C for the number of children ages 1-17, who have had at least one preventative dental visit in the last year. Programs at schools get some of the credit. Eyewitness News said the Kanawha County Dental Health Council runs dental clinics set up at five schools in Kanawha County. The largest is at Mary C. Snow Elementary. It is staffed with a dentist, hygienists, and sometimes students from the local technical school.
