MITCHELL– Mitchell Community Schools has partnered with School Smiles Dental
Program to provide onsite dental care to elementary students. School Smiles Dental
The program will be coming to Burris Elementary on Wednesday December 13, 2023, for
routine dental check-ups. Services offered (but not limited to) are dental exams,
cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, restorations, extractions, crowns, and dental
hygiene instructions. This in-school dental program saves you time and provides a safe
and comfortable place for your child to receive gentle dental care from licensed local
professionals. This is a completely optional service being offered to students. School Smiles will communicate directly with parents concerning dental care. Parents will be involved while having the convenience of a dental appointment right at their child’s school.
All insurance is accepted including Medicaid and private insurance. A low cost self-pay
option is available for those without insurance. Self-pay rate is $49. That rate
covers exams, x-rays, cleaning, and fluoride.
Children who see a dentist regularly may have fewer health issues like:
● Early tooth loss due to dental decay
● Gum disease
● Heart disease
● Impaired speech development
FREE toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss and other dental supplies will be given to every
child enrolled in the program!
