A dental hygienist, new to the community, learns from friends and clients of the popularity of sports teams for children from age 3 through 12. Noticing the apparent lack of preventive measures to protect against oral and head injuries, she becomes particularly concerned about the child and adolescent population within this community. As a first step toward developing a community-based plan to prevent sports injuries for all participants in this target group, the dental hygienist consults with the high school athletic coach.
