Dental Sealant Program

The Ohio Department of Health currently provides grant funds for school-based dental sealant programs. Southeastern Ohio has a high percentage of children from low-income families and limited access to dental care.

Following an assessment by a dentist, our team of one dental hygienist and one dental assistant, place sealants on children’s teeth. Children are assessed for other dental problems as well, and parents are notified that follow-up dental care is needed. Students are rescreened the following school year to ensure the integrity of the sealants previously placed and to place sealants on newly erupted teeth.

For information, call 454-9741 X 254.
