Children’s Dental health Service’s (CDHS) collaborative dental hygienists saw siblings Jereece and Neveah at their head start location to provide preventative care services, including a dental cleaning and oral health education. Jereece and Neveah are seen through our head start, school-based program as access to dental care in their community is limited.
The number of local dental providers accepting Jereece and Neveah’s insurance is few and far between, and those accepting have wait lists between 4 and 6 months for patient appointments. At the time of their preventative care services, both children received a dental exam from a dentist who identified they had extensive urgent restorative needs that needed to be treated as soon as possible.
CDHS staff worked with the children's head start teachers and family to schedule dental appointments and were seen by our dentist and had all unhealthy teeth treated. Now that Jereece and Neveah have healthy mouths free of cavities, they don’t have to worry about missing any of the estimated 51 million school hours other students are missing each year in the United States due to dental pain.
