The Practice of Infant Oral Care in the Medical-Dental Setting

The Infant Oral Care Program (IOCP) is a UCLA School of Dentistry rotation that provides culturally sensitive preventative oral health care for children ages 0 to 5 years and is the training site for the SPICE-PD residents and students. SPICE-PD students include pediatric dental residents, dental students, pediatric medical residents, and advanced nurse practitioner students. The medical-dental integration model is utilized at IOCP to help reduce oral health disparities by providing a system-based and cost-effective approach to combatting the burden of Early Childhood Caries.

IOCP is located at UCLA's local Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC), Venice Family Clinic. For IOCP clinic dates and directions click here.
