Kenosha Community Health Center Dental

• In the US, children miss about 52 million hours of school each year because of dental problems.
• Poor oral health and untreated oral diseases and conditions can largely affect the ability to learn.
• 90% of decay in children's permanent teeth occurs on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, sealants serve as a physical barrier to the bacteria that cause decay

Kenosha Community Health Center is offering a preventative dental sealant program in your school for all children in 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade. A Dentist (DDS) and a dental hygienist (RDH) will come to your school to provide this program.

Our program will visit your school three times throughout the year providing fluoride varnish applications with this exam.
