IN SCHOOL DENTAL CARE
No cost to your school.
Oral Health Impact Project (OHIP) is a pioneering service that offers on-location dental services to students within participating schools. The programs are completely self-sustaining, relying only on existing federal funds, not grants, appropriations, donations, or school funds.
Our board-certified “kid-friendly” dentists create a welcoming and familiar environment for children by setting up portable dental centers within your school walls. Not only do children experience less anxiety receiving care in this familiar environment, but they also miss less class time when their dental care is being coordinated through their school.
What makes us different?
Unlike similar programs, which only offer preventative care, OHIP provides comprehensive services including examinations, x-rays, cleanings, fillings, sealants, and more complex procedures. Providing this full range of services not only significantly improves the child’s overall health and well being, but also advances the efforts in the eradication of dental disease.
