The Texas Head Star Dental Home Initiative. Making a difference in the smiles of Head Start children
Abstract:
The TDA is passionately committed to partnering every Head Start center in Texas with a dentist dedicated to being the "dental home" for that center.

Federal Head Start regulations mandate that each child enrolled in Head Start has an ongoing source of continuous accessible health care (1). As it pertains to dentistry, this means a dental home.
