2) Strengthen daily oral health habits
3) Build life-long connections between families and their dentist for routine care
SEAL-A-SMILE IS FOR:
- families who see a dentist regularly
- those who have yet to find a dental home
- families who have private insurance
- families with no insurance
- families with BadgerCare/Forward Health/Medicaid
Seal-A-Smile services are 100% free. A licensed dental hygienist will provide services in school at no cost to families.
