About Us:
A student in dental pain is treated promptly in the clinic because we know that a child in pain cannot focus on learning. The parent does not need to transport their child to an outside dental provider, which means the child does not miss precious school hours.
If a child with dental pain does not attend a school with a dental clinic, he/she can be seen by a dentist at a nearby school. Our dental offices are open on all school days during school hours. We employ 3 full-time dentists, 9 dental hygienists, and 4 dental assistants.
Most patients who participate in our Dental Program are seen on a 6-month recall schedule, which helps maintains good oral health and prevents cavities. Regular x-rays help the dentist identify dental problems before they become more acute. Sealants prevent decay. Regular instruction and reinforcement in brushing and flossing promotes better home care. Nutritional counseling at recall appointments reminds the students that healthy eating promotes overall good health.
We have 17 school based dental clinics throughout Hartford that provide quality dental care for our students.
