Baby Teeth Do Matter APA is a facilitator for the CavityFree SF District 10 Children's Oral Health Task Force. On February 1, we kicked off our "Baby Teeth Do Matter" in San Francisco's District 10 neighborhoods that includes light pole display banners, a full page newspaper ad in SF Bay View, radio spots on iHeartRadio, posters and flyers for community organizations and businesses, and outreach events that feature our tooth mascot.

The Task Force is co-chaired by Linda Mack-Burch MPH, Bayview Senior Services; Bishop Ishmael Burch, St. Andrew Missionary Baptist Church; and Mariah Rice RDA, Marin City Health and Wellness Center. Task Force members are: Monte Hardy, Bayview YMCA; Carlos Minaya MPH, Mission Neighborhood Health Center; Elaine Musselman RN, MSN/Ed, CNE. Other representatives are: Karen Pierce, Christine Nip, San Francisco Department of Public Health; Sepideh Banava DDS, MBA, MPH, SFDPH/UCSF; and Ana Soria, RDA, Medi-Cal Dental Program.
