Free childrens' dental work offered for National Children's Dental Health Month

CCBC Dental Hygiene Program and Maryland Dental Hygienists' Association are hosting a free event called “Sealant Saturday”.  The event will take place on Saturday February 4 ^th as part of National Children's Dental Health Month

The event is part of a community outreach program sponsored by the Maryland Dental Hygienists' Association (MDHA) and the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) providing free dental examinations and clear, colorless, protective coatings on permanent molars to children ages 6 to 18 years old. This treatment is intended to help prevent tooth decay.  Children who come out to the event will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

The event is free but appointments are required. Appointments typically last from 45 minutes to an hour for the examination and the sealant application.
