school-based dental clinics
School-based dental clinics are facilities located within or near schools that provide dental care to students. These clinics aim to improve children's oral health by offering services such as check-ups, cleanings, and preventive treatments. They often serve students who may not have access to dental care due to financial or transportation barriers.
These clinics are staffed by dental professionals, including dentists and dental hygienists, who work closely with schools to promote good oral hygiene practices. By integrating dental care into the school environment, these clinics help ensure that children receive the necessary treatment to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
