Spruce the Dental Health Moose Toolkit

Spruce the Dental Health Moose (originally introduced as Bruce by the Maine CDC in the 1980s) began as a campaign to promote healthy oral care habits for children. In May 2023, Spruce was relaunched by From the First Tooth in response to pediatric providers' concerns about many families lacking the basic tools needed to establish healthy oral care routines at home.
