New Haven Public Schools Smile New Haven Dental Program

School is back in session, time for your childs dental check-up.

February is National Children's Dental Health Month!! This year's campaign is all about WATER. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water daily, especially with mask wearing.

Looks like Christmas came early this year!! 72 boxes packed full of much needed dental care supplies, donated to our dental program. These will be distributed to families who we serve.

Healthy Teeth are Happy Teeth.
Remember to brush twice a day, floss and schedule your dental check-up.

Our clinics are open to see your children during remote learning. Call us to schedule an appointment today!
