SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The El Dorado Smiles Dental Van will be at two South Lake Tahoe schools in the month of November. They will provide a comprehensive exam to children in collaboration with Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD).
The exam will include x-rays, cleaning, fluoride sealants and complete oral exams.
Most insurances are accepted including Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal. A sliding fee is available for those that qualify. After receiving a health history and consent form, a dental representative will contact the family to schedule an appointment while the van is in town.
Forms are available at the schools prior to the dates they arrive.
The van will be at Bijou Elementary November 9 and 10, then at Tahoe Valley Elementary on November 16 and 17.
For information, call 530-497-5016 and fax forms to 530-622-8908.
LTUSD has a new Career Technical Education (CTE) elementary program that is working on bringing dental health from the high school to the elementary and middle schools levels. The program staff is also collaborating on this new programming with EDCOE, El Dorado County Public Health, First 5 and LTUSD.
