The Children's Oral Health Program provides a variety of age-appropriate educational activities for children. Registered dental hygienists are available to conduct educational oral health presentations in schools. The program also distributes newsletters and offers loaner teaching kits for use by teachers and school nurses. Additionally, the program funds the "Save our Smiles" voluntary fluoride mouth rinse program (FMR) for eligible schools. To schedule a free educational program at a school, please contact us.
