At Children’s Dental Network, we make kids happier and healthier by introducing them to good dental habits at an early age. Together with school districts throughout the Greater Derry and Salem areas, we make obtaining dental care easy and affordable by providing free and low-cost screenings, teeth cleanings, temporary fillings and fluoride treatments right in school.
Our educational programs give teachers the resources they need to help their students learn about oral health, and our in-school presentations teach them how to have a healthy smile that will last a lifetime. Most importantly, we help children become comfortable with going to the dentist. And that’s really something to smile about!
Whether you’re a parent, an educator, a sponsor, or a dentist, we’re looking forward to working together with you! And don’t forget to brush and floss every day, and visit the dentist for regular check-ups – a healthy smile will last a lifetime!
MISSION
The mission of the Children's Dental Network is to improve oral health for children in the greater Derry area through education, delivery of services, and facilitation of improved access to oral health services.
Did you know that the first school-based dental clinic in the US began as long ago as 1906? Our model of care has a long history of effective service.
Leadership and Legacy: Oral Health Milestones in Maternal and Child Health is a timeline that traces significant events that have occurred in the United States and that have impacted the oral health and, ultimately, the overall health and well-being of children, adolescents, women, and families.
