The Clark County Seal-A-Smile (SAS) program is complete for the 2023-2024 school year! The Clark County SAS program is a school-based oral health program with a focus on dental sealants. Clark County SAS provides no-cost oral health services for all children in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade, regardless of insurance status, at participating schools.
Oral health services are provided by a licensed dental professional on various dates throughout the school year. Oral health services include: teeth cleaning and screening, education on proper teeth brushing, fluoride treatment(s), and dental sealants (if applicable).
For the 2023-2024 school year, participating schools included: Abbotsford, Colby, Colby St. Mary’s, Granton, Greenwood, Loyal, Loyal St. Anthony’s, Neillsville, Neillsville St. John’s, Thorp, and Thorp Catholic. Clark County SAS services were also provided to students who attended Dorchester Head Start.
