If you work with children from low-income families you already realize the negative impact poor oral health has on a child’s ability to learn.  Because low-income children have less access to dental care than other children do, they are 12 times as likely to miss school due to an oral health problem and over 4 million children attend school in dental pain every day.  Dental problems also can lower self-esteem and slow personal development.  The CDC and HRSA support school-based dental services to reduce oral diseases in children.  We do too!

Schools benefit from improved student oral health because it improves attendance  and concentration in the classroom due to fewer toothaches. 

We work with local dentists that provide on-site dental care at schools  where there are children in need and we create a dental home with the same level of care provided by a traditional office.  Our program is easy for a school to implement and costs the school nothing.
