Cavity Free SF

CavityFree SF works to end oral health disparities and promote optimal oral health for all San Francisco children and youth. We do this by influencing policy, affecting systems level changes, and improving access to prevention and care. Our work is data-driven. We lead with evidence-based best practices in dentistry, pediatrics and community-based work. We work together to offer innovative solutions for policy and systems improvements. Our innovative collaboration allows us to create an impact on the lives of our city’s youngest and highest-risk children.
