The Mobile Dentist - 2 Easy Steps for Parents - Form due by 12/20

Students were handed Enrollment Forms this week in Advisory 

to bring home for review. 

            The ARPS Family Center is partnering with The Mobile Dentist to provide dental care to our district families of Amherst. Smile Programs…the mobile dentists are innovative, on-site, school based, dental outreach providers. Their mission is to bring state of the art, dental care to those students in need in the most comfortable and effective way possible.

                   2 Easy Steps For Parents For The Dental Program

1. Fill out the form completely.
2. Turn the form back to the main office by:  December 20^th 2013
3. 
   

Many children sadly find themselves without easy and affordable access to necessary dental care. Smile Programs…the mobile dentists utilize locally licensed dentists and hygienists, employing the latest technology in portable equipment, to provide all services directly at your school. Our imaginative program sets up conveniently in your classroom, auditorium, gym or other suitable locale and transforms it into a fully functional “dental office” for the day. At all times, your staff and students are minimally inconvenienced by our highly efficient delivery model.

For those students without Medicaid or private insurance and lacking sufficient funds for a subsidized fee, Smile Programs...the mobile dentists provides generous grant-assistance. NO CHILD IS EVER TURNED AWAY for lack of resources.
