School Based Dental Programs

• Let’s Learn Clinics – Oral Health Services staff attend these kindergarten registration clinics to offer dental screening and dental health information to parents and caregivers.

• School Screenings – Screenings, and some preventive services, are available at many schools in the area, in selected grades. When children are screened at school, parents will be notified if their child has an urgent dental condition or if preventive services are recommended (examples: fluoride, sealants, oral hygiene instruction).

• Resources for Teachers – books, videos, curriculum support and more!

• Dental Campaigns – For more information on any of these campaigns, call or email us.
