Dental clinics
Dental hygiene clinics – for children 17 and younger
We provide dental hygiene services to children 17 and under. Services are free for children whose families cannot afford the cost.
A dental hygienist will look at your child’s teeth and can offer:
- Oral health instruction (tips for keeping a healthy mouth and a healthy smile)
- Scaling (professional cleaning that removes hard deposits and stains)
- Topical fluoride (to strengthen teeth and help prevent cavities)
- Interim stabilization therapy (a temporary restoration procedure)
- Sealants (protective coatings for the teeth to help prevent cavities)
