Many families with school age children find themselves without affordable access to necessary dental care. Dental disease has a huge impact on children. Untreated problems can cause pain, interfere with sleep, affect concentration, and attendance at school, influence nutrition, and create barriers to socialization. The categories of dental services are Preventive, Basic and Major procedures.

Preventive dental services include examinations, diagnostic, cleanings (prophylaxis), bitewing X-rays, periapical X-Rays, fluoride treatments & tooth sealants.

Basic dental services include fillings, composite fillings, sedative fillings, routine tooth extractions, root canal treatment, periodontal scaling & root plaining, periodontal surgery, re-cementing dental crowns.

Major dental services include inlays & outlays, bridge work, tooth implants, impacted wisdom teeth removal, complex oral surgery procedures, removable partial dentures, complete dentures, denture re-liners & rebases, denture repair, and orthodontic treatment.

Our topic in this discussion is related to the Preventive/Diagnostic service for children who do not have access to the dental services. It is necessary that the Dental providers team visit children at schools or other public locations made available by nonprofit organizations or the public sector. The goal of the dental providers is to focus on preventive dental services from a Mobile Dental Coach or Trailer.

Children face tooth decay & infection. Early education to start forming good dental habits will help children starting at age 1. More children stay cavity-free when preventive dentistry services including routine cleanings with fluoride varnish and the use of sealants are available. Sealants should be applied to the back teeth (Molars) to protect them from cavity-causing food particles & bacteria.

There are two methods of providing dental service access to school children.

1) Utilizing portable dental equipment in a passenger minivan or a service tech van. All the dental equipment is portable and available from Aseptico Inc. or Dental Works. This equipment is not anchored in the van. The Providers will end up spending valuable time unpacking and packing the foldable dental equipment before doing the dental service and after performing service.

2) Mobile Dental Coach or Trailer is completely Self Contained & comes close to immovable Dental Office. Visit www.kbdentconsulting.com for more details or contact us.
