School-Based Oral Health Programs

School-Based Oral Health Programs are initiatives that provide dental care services directly within schools or nearby facilities. They aim to improve children’s oral health by offering screenings, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and education about proper dental hygiene. These programs help prevent tooth decay, identify dental issues early, and ensure students have access to necessary care, especially for those who might not otherwise receive it. By integrating dental services into the school environment, these programs promote healthier smiles and support overall student well-being and academic success.
