Three programs bringing preventive oral healthcare directly to children, individuals with special healthcare needs, and seniors.

Children enrolled at partnering schools, preschools, Head Start sites, and TK programs — no dental home or insurance required.

All services are provided through signed parent or guardian consent, coordinated with school staff.

• Caries risk evaluations
• Fluoride varnish applications
• Oral hygiene instruction and habit-building education
• Nutrition counseling for cavity prevention
