ORAL HEALTH SUPPORT
Dental Programs and Resources
Keeping your mouth healthy is an important part of your overall health. While Amoskeag Health offers a pediatric oral health program as part of well-child care, many dental needs are met through community programs across New Hampshire.
Our Pediatric Oral Health program is offered at every Well Child Check for children ages 0 to 5. During these visits, our team applies fluoride varnish to help lower the risk of cavities. Research shows it works even for kids who see a dentist regularly.
​
As part of the program, your child will receive two fluoride varnish treatments per year and an age appropriate oral health kit with resources you can use at home to keep their teeth healthy. Children who are at higher risk for cavities may receive varnish more often.
