OUR PROGRAMS ARE GROWING AND WORKING.
On-site Dental Services
Each school receives preventive dental services and procedures to control dental decay for the students whose families sign up for them. Treatments include:
Toothbrush cleanings and scaling
Sealants
Fluoride Varnish Application
Oral Hygiene Instruction
Silver Diamine Fluoride Application
Interim Therapeutic Restorations
Oral Health Classroom Education
In our schools, we teach the students an oral health curriculum based on the science of a healthy oral lifestyle. In our early childhood programs, we teach the parents how to raise a decay-free child.
Warm Referrals & Health Insurance Navigation
Community Health Workers contact the families of urgent-need children to refer them to our partner clinics for comprehensive care.
Dental Workforce Training
Through internships, apprenticeships, training, and tuition assistance, Ready, Set, Smile prepares a new generation of dental professionals. We are an outreach site for universities and support our staff in attaining licensures and certificates through our growing career pipeline project.
