If your child already receives these services from your family dentist, please continue this dental care.  This outreach program is for children who may not receive complete dental care, and is not meant to replace regular services s/he may already be receiving.

Efforts will be made to help transport children in Head Start programs in Washington County and pre-K - 4th grade at the Rose M. Gaffney (RMG) School and Elm St. School, and pre-K - 3rd grade at Jonesboro Elementary School .
