Dental Care at School
Does your child have a dentist? If not, getting dental care at school is possible!
The mobile dental van is a modern, fully equipped dental office on wheels. The Health Center in Plainfield, Vermont provides the management, staff, and financial support to bring the van to local schools. Services from licensed dentists, hygienists, and assistants include cleanings, exams, fillings, X-rays, extractions, and sealants.
For students eligible for Medicaid, dental services are fully covered. If your student has private insurance, the insurance company will be billed, and parents will be responsible for paying the balance. A sliding scale fee is offered to families who do not qualify for Medicaid, who don't have insurance, or who have private insurance but may be considered low income.
If you are interested in taking advantage of these services, please reach out to school nurse, Abbie Sweet: abigail.montgomery@stjacademy.org. This form must be completed in order to be scheduled for these dental services, which will be offered at the St. Johnsbury School the weeks of September 21 or 28.
