-Cannot be an established patient of a local dentist

-Cannot have private dental insurance

-Must complete a Tooth Truck application form

The Tooth Truck treats Medicaid-eligible and uninsured children from ages 3-18 years. Children seen last year are not eligible for a routine check up but should apply if there is a new dental concern.

The Tooth Truck staff will be scheduling students very soon.

Thank You,

If I see a student struggling on a sort I will be sending home some additional practice.
