The Dental Sealant Program is a preventive program in which school age children receive sealants on their permanent molars. The goal of the sealant program is to reduce the incidence of pit and fissure dental decay in at-risk school children. Using the Office of Oral Health's portable dental equipment set up at the school site, the children receive a diagnostic dental exam and dental sealants are applied to the appropriate teeth.
Participation is aimed at children in the second and sixth grade.
