Partners Linking Together to Provide Health & Wellness in Kane County

School-Based Dental

                                                    The Kane County Health Department’s Smile for                                                          Sealants Program was designed to support the Illinois                                                     Department of Public Health’s mission to identify                                                         children who will benefit from the placement of pit and                                                     fissure sealants on permanent molar teeth.

 

The services provided through this program include:

· A dental screening/exam

· Prophylaxis, Fluoride, and Dental Sealants, if eligible

· Classroom and individual education on oral hygiene and sealants 

· Information on oral health and sealants for parents 

· Referrals for children who need restorative or emergency care 

 

These services are provided on-site at Kane County Elementary and Middle schools in districts U-46, 131, and 300.  The Kane County Dental Coalition would like to expand the program to every school district in Kane County that has a student population of 50% or more that qualify for free and reduced-fee lunch or a rural school district that has a median income at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level for the entire district.
