预防口腔健康服务

im体育. offers preventative oral health care and education to preschool-12th graders with parental permission at the students’ schools, thus reducing students’ time missed from class for appointments and parents’ time away from work, thus increasing valuable time in the classroom. Each student receives a comprehensive screening, 清洁, 氟化处理, 如果需要密封剂. Parents receive a “Report Card” detailing the findings of the service and suggesting followup with the child’s family dentist if needed for more intensive restorative services.

“Providing health education and skills-building for children is an investment in a lifetime of good health practices and contributes to a healthier childhood and adult life. The early care and education setting is an optimal place to teach, practice and nurture positive oral health skills and activities. im体育 programs such as Mr. 摩尔 have been instrumental in providing these much needed services to our children.”

Parent and teacher statement, Russell County High School

“Perhaps you have seen a large RV parked in front of a local school recently. Perhaps you have heard students talking about the dental bus, or perhaps you have seen a child packing a plastic pouch with 牙膏, 一把牙刷, 还有牙线. This dental bus is a wonderfully innovative way to bring dental health to children who otherwise may not have access to a dentist. 我的孩子有一位非常棒的牙医, but seen by a dentist while at school is a fantastic, cost effective way to ensure that my kids have their teeth cleaned regularly and checked for cavities. Although I am not present at the time of the treatment, I am given a report on my children's dental health, with any issues highlighted for further treatment at my personal dentist. This service allows my family to keep both my kids' teeth healthy and cavity-free. I encourage all parents to consider allowing your children, 无论年轻还是年老, to have access to the dental bus and the dentists and technicians that serve in this capacity. Good dental health is important for a healthy body, and beginning the habits of dental hygiene early in childhood is a great start. I am thankful for the partnership between the dental bus and Russell County schools -- it is certainly making a positive impact in our community!”
