Volunteer opportunities with the Northwoods Dental Project

 Preventive dental services offered are Dental Sealants, Fluoride Varnish and students also have the opportunity to participate in Toothprints which is donated by our area orthodontist.

 Information about the Northwoods Dental Project and our video can be found on the Vilas County Website www.vilaspublichealth.com or our video only on YouTube.

 On a side note, if a dental hygiene class or group of students were interested, I would be willing to arrange overnight accommodations if necessary.  Each of these school districts also have Head Start or 4-K students that we see for fluoride varnish, I know the centers/schools would be excited to have students present OH Education or they could help out with the varnishes.
