§ 104800 Dental Disease Prevention Partnerships

This law lets the local health officer work together with nonprofits, schools, and county school leaders to run dental disease‑prevention programs and says they should keep the projects they already have.

Key Takeaways

  • •The health officer can partner with public or private nonprofit groups, school districts, and county superintendents.
  • •The partnership can involve just using services, just signing a contract, or both.
  • •The law expects these partners to keep up any dental disease‑prevention projects they already run.

Example

A county health officer teams up with the local elementary school and a community nonprofit to give free tooth‑cleaning lessons to kids.

The law lets the health officer both use the school’s space and sign a contract with the nonprofit, so the program can happen and the school’s existing dental project continues.
