Healthy Smiles of Waupaca County is offering a preventive dental sealant program for children in ALL grades. This program is funded by the Wisconsin Seal-A-Smile, a collaborative program of Children’s Health Alliance of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. A licensed dental provider will come to the school to provide the sealant program at no charge to you. The program includes: assessment to determine if sealants can be done, sealants if appropriate, and fluoride treatments. A follow-up letter will be sent home to describe what was completed and what is recommended for future needs. All procedures will follow recommendations from the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations for school-based dental sealant programs. This permission is effective for two years in order to replace lost sealants when checked after one year or to have sealants applied on teeth that were not sealed this year.
