The Johnson Health Center Mobile Dental Unit will visit schools across the division to offer optional dental exams between January and March of 2027.

Treatment includes dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Optional fluoride treatments and sealants to protect teeth are also available. After your child is seen, you’ll get a letter with visit details, treatment recommendations, and contact information to schedule any necessary treatment. Learn more here.
Participation is totally optional. If you do not want your child to be seen in the mobile dental clinic, you don’t need to do anything. If you do want your child to be seen in the mobile dental clinic, complete this packet (español) by Wednesday, Nov. 11. Late forms will not be accepted.
Once you successfully submit the form online, you’ll see an option to print or download a copy. From there, you’ll be all set—no need to turn in a physical copy. If you can’t complete the packet online, please ask your child’s school nurse for a printed form.
The Mobile Dental Clinic will see children with private dental insurance, FAMIS, or Medicaid. If your child has received a dental exam within the past six months, insurance might not cover this visit. If your child doesn’t have dental insurance, you can apply for a lower fee. See the packet for details.
