Department of Health and Human Services to expand its dental sealant program. The grant funds offered through the Oral Health Partnership will be used to pay for sealant supplies. The partnership requires the health department's dental hygienist, Del'Veria Marenco, become a qualified Public Health Dental Hygienist. This will qualify the dental hygienist to apply dental sealants to patients' teeth and increase the clinic's ability to serve more clients. The dental clinic provides services for children from birth to 20 years of age. Services provided include exams, radiographs, hygiene education, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, fillings, extractions, space maintenance, stainless steel crowns and referrals. Payment for service is income-based, according to a sliding scale. The clinic is located in the Public Health Center at 1235 Ramsey St., and is open Monday through Wednesday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Thursdays from 1:30 – 5:30 p.m. For more information or to make an appointment, call 910-433-3613.
