There is no cost to families for preventive services provided through Teaching Tiny Teeth.
We bill Medicaid or private insurance when available.
If a child is uninsured, services may be provided at no cost.
Availability may vary based on program resources and school participation.
📌 What services will my child receive?
Your child will receive:
- A dental cleaning
- A fluoride treatment
- Dental sealants (if needed)
- An oral health screening
- Digital x-rays
- Fun, age-appropriate dental education
- A FREE Toothbrush
👉 Important:
We will only provide the services that you, as the parent or guardian, consent to.
No services will be performed without signed parental approval.
📌 Will my child receive x-rays?
Yes
They are quick, safe, and use minimal radiation.
X-rays help us find cavities and dental issues that may not be visible during a regular exam, allowing us to catch problems early.
📌How will I know what services my child received?
After each visit, you will receive a personalized report summarizing your child’s services, screening results, and any recommendations for further care if needed..
📌 What if my child already sees a dentist?
Teaching Tiny Teeth focuses on preventive care and education.
Even if your child already sees a dentist regularly, additional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants can help strengthen and protect their smile between regular dental office visits.
📌 Is it safe for my child to receive dental services at school?
Absolutely!
All services are provided by licensed, background-checked professionals who follow strict infection control, HIPAA, and FERPA privacy standards.
We create a safe, caring environment right at school.
For Schools:

We handle scheduling, consent forms, communication with families, and setup.
We simply ask schools to provide a small space for services and help distribute information to parents.
📌 How often do you visit?
We visit every six months to provide preventive care and follow-up, helping children stay on track with their dental health year-round.

All equipment is sanitized following strict infection control protocols.
