Have Healthy Teeth worked with members of People First chapters in Helena and Missoula to implement and evaluate low-cost oral health self-management and prevention strategies that establish good oral health behaviors. The program’s key elements were oral hygiene self-management and peer mentoring to assist with compliance. People First Missoula trained peer mentors in Helena who subsequently trained other peer mentors as the program expanded to additional Montana People First chapters.
