Even better, dental care is usually at no cost to you.
All insurance is accepted including Medicaid and CHIP. A low cost self-pay option is available for those without insurance.
Big Smiles is convenient and comfortable. The in-school dental program saves you time and provides a safe and comfortable place for your child to receive gentle dental care from licensed local professionals. Dental care includes a complete dental exam, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride and sealants when necessary, as well as restorative care such as fillings.
Children who see a dentist regularly may have fewer health issues like:
Early tooth loss due to dental decay
Gum disease
Heart disease
Impaired speech development
Help keep your child healthy, in school and learning.
