Each year our school partners with Northeast Missouri Health Council to provide dental screening services and dental treatment to our students. NMHC has a mobile dental unit that comes to the school once in the spring and once in the fall. The inside of this large truck is a full dentist's office! They are able to provide services such as check-ups and cleanings, x-rays, fillings, crowns, and even extractions. Students miss minimal class time and receive the dental care that they need without parents having to miss work! The dental truck will be coming to our school again soon. If you are interested in having your child seen on the dental truck, please contact Nurse Stephanie at 660-947-3361, ext. 319 asap!
