Untreated dental decay is among the most preventable chronic disease for children. It causes kids pain, lost time in the classroom and diminishes performance in school. Access’ Celebrate Smiles program works to prevent tooth decay and educate children about good oral health. This program brings licensed dental staff to local schools screening children in grades 4K-8. We provide dental sealants, fluoride varnish, as well as dental cleanings and restorative treatment as needed. Children in the program become Access dental patients and can receive ongoing care at an Access dental clinic.
For the 2023-24 school year, program staff will again provide service in our Celebrate Smiles Care Mobile, a mobile vehicle with portable dental equipment that is located outside each school we visit. Some screening and fluoride treatment services will continue in designated areas within some schools as well.
