Dental sealants for North Elementary students

Beginning 2.26.24, North Elementary 1st and 2nd graders can receive free dental sealants and fluoride varnish to help prevent cavities, as part of Delta Dental of Idaho’s Grins on the Go program. Dental sealants fill the deep grooves of a child’s back teeth, where 90% of children’s cavities occur. The Fluoride varnish helps protect the smooth surfaces of children’s teeth.

Grins on the Go clinics take place on-site at schools as part of the Dental of Idaho’s Community Outreach efforts.
