Our Mission
Dientes Fuertes, Vida Sana (Strong Teeth, Healthy Life; DFVS) prepares promotoras de salud to conduct tooth decay prevention outreach in their communities. DFVS builds promotoras’ knowledge and skills to improve Latino parents’ dental health literacy and dental health system navigation skills so parents can prevent childhood tooth decay and establish positive, lifelong dental habits.
