Agency - Children's Dental Health Services

Our mission is to provide dental hygiene services to under served children of our community. Our vision is to expand dental hygiene services to the under served children and eventually include adolescents.

Description:
Our agency operates out of the United Way Services Building in Rochester. This location was chosen because it will facilitate and reduce transportation problems by parents.Providing portable services at Head Start sites, schools and public health sites. Our agency will include a reception area to maintain records of patients, obtain and keep health histories, and make appointments. Children's Dental Health Services will provide dental hygiene services that include dental cleanings, oral hygiene instructions, fluoride treatment,sealants (when applicable) dental assessments by a dental hygienist, and referral as needed.

History:
In late 2005, the current director of Children's Dental Health Services began the process of starting a nonprofit to serve under served children in regard to dental hygiene. The director has been a dental hygienist for 24 years and has a collaborative agreement with a local dentist to help serve this population. This agreement allows Children's Dental Health Services to operate specifically to care for the under served in our area.
