Dental Care Being Offered for Windsor Locks Public School Students

I have received e-mails asking about the history of this program.  Former State Representative Karen Jarmoc of Enfield worked very hard to get this program in Enfield.  This program will not cost the Town of Windsor Locks a single dime, and it will keep our kids healthy.  May residents of Windsor Locks are unemployed or without health insurance, and this is a great opportunity for our children to have healthy teeth.  

Community Health Center, Inc. of Enfield is offering School Based Dental services to Windsor Locks Public School students during their school day.  The services consist of a cleaning, exam, fluoride treatment, sealants and dental x-rays if needed.  Proper brushing and flossing techniques are also reviewed.

All children who enroll are eligible to receive services regardless of insurance status.

There is no charge for services for children insured by Husky or Medicaid.  Most insurance plans are accepted with coverage & costs dependent on the plan.  For patients with NO dental insurance, the cost for the services is $30, and the cost for sealants is $25.00.  All parts of the registration/enrollment form* must be completed, signed and returned to the school before a student may receive the dental services.
