This report delves into successful dental health initiatives in the Jicarilla Service Unit, focusing on on-site programs offering screenings and fluoride applications for young children. Key highlights include the establishment of a school-based dental clinic and a Teen Wellness Center that provides preventative services to students from grades 5 to 12. Additionally, open-access clinics permit patients aged 0 to 5 to receive care without appointments. Challenges faced, like WIC engagement and collaboration with well-child visits, are also discussed, along with solutions for better outreach and service expansion.

  2. WHAT’S WORKING… • On-Site Programs • for Screenings & Fluoride Applications: • Head Start & Early Head Start • Elementary Grade K • Middle School Grades 5 thru 8

  3. WHAT’S WORKING…. • School-Based Dental Clinic: • Teen Wellness Center located in the Dulce High-School • Dental Champion – school nurse • Access for Grade 5 thru 12 • Preventive Services- Cleanings, OHI, Fluoride Applications and Sealants • No Broken Appointments / Captured Audience

  4. WHAT’S WORKING…. • Open Access Clinics • No Appointments Needed for Patients Age 0 – 5 • Currently Wednesday Afternoons • Visual Screening, Toothbrush Prophy, OHI, GI Sealants, & Fluoride Application

  5. Not so much… • WIC: unable to establish a Dental Champion and get foot in door • Mailings- letters sent to homes of 1 and 2 year olds achieved minimal response • Well-Child Visits- Our Medical Clinic does not use a “Block-Style” to schedule Well-Child Appointments. Therefore, it was difficult to establish a collaboration that was productive.

  6. Case Managements • Elementary School Programs : Sealant Program by the State/ Names shared students in need of dental treatments/ do chart reviews to see if they are in TX or have fallen out/ call to reschedule/
