Description

What we do at Ready, Set, Smile

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.

REFERRAL SERVICE

Community Health Workers contact the families of urgent-need children to refer them to our partner clinics for comprehensive care.

We are looking for volunteers who can help retrieve students from their classrooms,  deliver them to our temporary dental clinic set up in their school and once they've been seen by the dentist return them to their classrooms. Engage with the students while they wait for their turn with the Dentist and help them to understand how important oral health is to their whole being.

Get Connected Icon Volunteers should be between the ages of 23 and 75.
