RESOURCES FOR OFFICE OF ORAL HEALTH DENTAL SEALANT FUNDED PROGRAMS
The Office of Oral Health issues grant funding to Local Health Departments to support school-based and/or school-linked dental sealant programs.
School-based dental sealant programs provide screening, education, and dental sealant application in a school setting. Often times, dental teams set up in gyms, stages, unused rooms, nurses' offices or school based health centers to provide these services in an efficient manner to a large number of children.School-linked sealant programs provide screening and education within a school and refer those students that are in need of dental sealants and/or treatment, and do not have a dental home, back to their dental clinic. Those with a dental home are referred back to their private dentist.
