We are currently working on our school-based sealant program funded by the State of Arizona. Children in grades 2nd and 6th who meet the states requirements can qualify to have preventative sealants placed on their permanent molars, by a licensed dental hygienist. This procedure will take place at the school during school time as to reduce the amount of school time lost.

"Preventative Fluoride Varnishing" recommended by your Dentists and Physicians to prevent decay in children ages 6 months to 3 and 1/2 years. Talk to your Physician about getting a referral to a Dentist for you Child's first preventative trip to the Dentist. The New York Times Vital Signs stated that "Fluoride Varnish to cut cavities in small children. As little as one Fluoride Varnish treatment a year can cut the cavity rate in half for infants and small children."
