What is the Community Mobile Dental Clinic Program - KINSHIP (Kids in School Health Initiative and Partnership)?
CommWell Health’s school-based Community Mobile Dental Program, KINSHIP (Kids In School Health Initiative and Partnership), is an initiative aimed at providing accessible and affordable dental care services to children during the school year. This program directly brings quality dental care to the school, ensuring that children receive necessary treatments without disrupting their school schedules. The program not only addresses the challenges of accessing dental care but also emphasizes the importance of preventive oral health practices among children.
By offering dental services on-site, parents can take advantage of this convenient opportunity to ensure their child’s dental health is well taken care of without the need for additional time off work or school.
Through this partnership between schools and the dental program, children can receive check-ups, cleanings, and treatments that are essential for maintaining a healthy smile.
