Mobile dental clinic to visit Laurel Hill School students

LAUREL HILL — The Children’s Volunteer Health Network's Just for Grins Mobile Dental Clinic Program is coming to Okaloosa County for the first time.

The program — which has operated since the  2008-2009 school year in Walton County — will visit Laurel Hill School on Nov. 17.

"We will be providing free preventive dental care for first- through fifth-graders that qualify for our program," a spokesperson said.

The program is for students whose families qualify for government assistance.

Services will include bite wing x-rays, exams by a dentist, oral health care education, cleanings, fluoride treatments and sealants.
