Preventative Dentistry
Ages Pre-K – 18
Every child deserves access to quality dental care, and that’s why 205 DDS plays a vital role in improving children's health in Rockford Public Schools. Through our mobile dental unit, this initiative travels to each school to provide preventative dentistry, and essential services like dental cleanings and assessments.
By bringing care directly to the students, it ensures that every child, regardless of their background or financial situation, receives the attention they need to maintain good oral health. This proactive approach not only addresses immediate dental concerns but also fosters a long-term commitment to overall wellness, empowering children with the tools for healthier futures.
Weekly Visits
Each year, our clinic sees over 12,000 children, and it has been determined that approximately 50% of these young patients require some form of general dentistry following their routine examinations.
Dental Education
Our dental hygienists take the time to educate each student about how to prevent dental issues before they arise and encourage patients to adopt good oral hygiene practices.
Preventative Care
Preventative Dentistry encompasses a range of essential services aimed at maintaining optimal oral health. These services include regular dental exams, professional cleanings, the application of sealants, fluoride treatments, and comprehensive patient education.
Many students' education and overall confidence have significantly increased since they began receiving the dental care they needed.
Transportation Assistance
”The transportation service we provide has been a game changer; many parents want to get their children the help they need, but can’t always take time off work to do so. It’s heartening to see the kids adapt; many of them have been with us since early childhood and continue to seek our care even now. It’s astonishing how many people are unaware of proper dental care, including some who work within our own organization." - Jodi
