School Dental Program

We will have a mobile unit set up outside. A state licensed dentist will regularly check your child’s mouth & teeth, as well as provide a cleaning, x-rays as necessary, fluoride treatment and apply sealants, as needed. Additional care, such as fillings, may also be provided. A dental report card will be sent home with your child. Includes initial dental care & follow-up visits.
