Addressing dental caries prevalence in a Chinatown school by developing iSmile, a program to inspire upstream prevention of dental disease through education. With mentoring from dental and nutrition students, high school students develop an interactive, internet-based education module on dental health, with a focus on dietary cariogenicity, targeting 5-11 year olds. By empowering these students as community and peer educators they mentor elementary school students in healthy behaviors and gain insight for game design. By attacking dental education in a fun, nontraditional method, the dental profession will communicate behaviors required for individuals to achieve oral health.
