This year we are partnering with a program called Big Smiles. It is an in-school oral health program that has been featured on Fox News and CNN.
This program focuses on reducing absenteeism related to dental heath issues and improving instructional time.
A note from Big Smiles:
Did you know students can receive dental care right here at school? The program is FREE if your child is covered by Medicaid or similar programs and there are some no-cost resources available for the uninsured as well. Your child will receive a consent form that explains the program. The dentist will visit the school from time to time and provide exams, cleanings, x-rays, fluoride, sealants and even fillings!! Also, our student will be taught how to care for their teeth and the dangers of tobacco products. If you did not receive a consent form, please call the dental program at (800)409-2563.
