Dental Sealants

The DOH-Highlands Dental Sealant Program, in partnership with the Highlands County School Board, provides select preventive dental services to all public elementary school children.

A Registered Dental Hygienist visits all nine public elementary schools during the year to apply protective sealants that prevent decay on the teeth of children whose parents have approved the service.  Children are also taught how to properly clean their teeth. 

This service is provided to the community at no charge to parents and is available to all children in public elementary schools in Highlands County.
