Mobile Dentist returning to Amherst Schools


The ARPS Family Center is partnering with The Mobile Dentist once again to provide dental care to our district families of Amherst. Smile Programs…the mobile dentists are innovative, on-site, school based, dental outreach providers. Their mission is to bring state of the art dental care to those students in need, in the most comfortable and effective way possible. Dental care remains the greatest unmet health need among U.S. children.  Over 50% of children have a cavity, which can cause pain leading to missed school. 

The in-school dentist will be at Crocker Farm School on Monday, April 6.  Enrollment forms will be sent home with your child on Monday, March 9th. To take advantage of this convenient opportunity and have your child see the dentist at school, please fill out and sign the enrollment form and return it to school with your child by Friday, March 13th.  Together, we can keep our children healthy, in school, and learning. Please call 362-1600 if you did not receive a registration form in your child’s backpack, and you are interested in signing your child up.
