This annual initiative provides essential dental care, including sealants and fluoride treatments, to 2nd–6th grade students in the Mena School District, Ouachita River School District, and Cossatot River School District.

Mark Your Calendars!

The University of Arkansas-Fort Smith Hygiene School will be in Polk County on:

  • Thursday, February 20 – Wickes, Oden, Umpire, Van Cove, Acorn
  • Thursday, February 27 – Louise Durham, Holly Harshman, and Mena Middle School

If demand is high, we will add an additional day and notify participants. If your child’s school cannot participate on the scheduled date, let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate them.

Is Your Child’s School Not Participating? No Problem!

Appointments will be confirmed upon receipt of the forms. If the scheduled time does not work for you, let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Sealant & Fluoride Treatment: What You Need to Know

  • What are dental sealants? A thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to help prevent cavities.
  • Why are they important? Sealants help keep out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of decay and the need for future dental work.
  • Does my child still need to brush their teeth? Yes! Sealants do not replace daily brushing and flossing but provide added protection.
  • What is fluoride varnish? A quick and effective treatment that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities.
