Dental

For the last 5 years ICMS Dental has received funding from the Maine Center for Disease Control & Prevention (Maine Oral Health Program) for the last 5 years. This has allowed our hygienist, Samantha Quinn RDH and Dental Office Manager, Brooke Conway, to apply fluoride varnish and complete dental screenings at the Vinalhaven School for grades Pre-K thru fifth grade. This program takes place in the Fall and again in the Spring. This school year the dental team was able to see 63 students.
Over the past few years, this program has brought greater awareness about the importance of oral health in children to the clinicians, the students and their parents. Part of the process is educating the students on the importance of brushing TWICE daily, flossing and using mouth rinse. Through the dental screenings, we have been able to inform parents, about their children’s oral health care needs and areas that their child should address with a dentist before it becomes a problem. With more awareness and education there has been noticeable improvement from the fall of 2020 to the spring 2021 sessions. The dental screenings show that decay rates are much lower and kids seem to be more interested in having good oral hygiene. Thanks to the ICMS staff, the Vinalhaven school, the parents and the children who all help make such a good result possible.
