We know that parents often find taking their children to the dentist to be a challenge due a variety of issues including transportation and having to take time off from work. That’s why so many parents tell us how much they appreciate the ease and convenience of the in-school dentist, knowing that their children’s teeth are being kept healthy. 

Each of our affiliated dentists are local and state licensed. They are assisted by licensed dental hygienists and/or professional dental assistants, and all are caring professionals devoted to providing children with the highest level of care.

Parents are shown and given math and reading materials, lessons, experiments, and activities to do with their scholars at home.
