Exciting news!
Alma Area Schools is partnering with Seal-A-Smile to offer dental care right in our school. Seal-A-Smile has been operating for over 12 years and is the largest mobile dental program in the state of Wisconsin, providing services to 15,000 children every year. Our school-based program offers preventative dental services including an oral health screening, fluoride varnish applications, sealant placement, sealant retention, and oral health education to all children grades Pre-K through 12th at no charge. That means regardless of the insurance status, families will never receive a bill!
A permission form must be filled out before any child can participate. If you are interested in your student participating, please click the link below or stop into the office to get a paper enrollment form. We are tentatively looking to have the first visit be the week of Feb 6th. As it gets closer, we will alert families of the exact date selected.

***Please note, although the treatment provided in this program is wonderful for a child’s oral health, it is not meant to be an alternative to regular dental care.
