Children's Dental Health Services will provide dental hygiene services that include dental cleanings, oral hygiene instructions, fluoride treatment,sealants (when applicable) dental assessments by a dental hygienist, and referral as needed.

History:
In late 2005, the current director of Children's Dental Health Services began the process of starting a nonprofit to serve under served children in regard to dental hygiene. The director has been a dental hygienist for 24 years and has a collaborative agreement with a local dentist to help serve this population. This agreement allows Children's Dental Health Services to operate specifically to care for the under served in our area.
