Oral health is important for a child’s overall health and school readiness. Tooth decay affects a child’s ability to learn, speak, eat and sleep, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. Dental sealants are a simple, cost-effective and painless way to prevent decay. The I-Smile™@School program provides free dental sealants, oral screenings and fluoride varnishes in many Iowa elementary and middle schools. For more information, call 866-528-4020.
