The Dental Health Program works to promote, protect and assure the dental health of the citizens of Randolph County. Our staff works to accomplish this through dental education, prevention and dental treatment Programs.
For more information check out the Dental Clinic Brochure (PDF) as well as the information in the other tabs.
- Clinical treatment, education and follow-up for children in need one year of age until high school.
- Limited clinical treatment is available for adults experiencing a dental emergency.
- Students from selected grades in Randolph County Schools and Asheboro City Schools receive an oral health screening each year. Those without a dentist can receive care from the health department.
- Our dental health staff visit all the Randolph County and Asheboro City Schools for dental screening and education of all students in kindergarten. When a dental need is determined, dental health staff notify parents by a letter in a sealed envelope that is sent home with the student. Dental health staff work with School Nurses to follow-up on those students referred for dental care. The goal is for all children with a dental need to receive care and find a dental home.
- During the screenings, students receive educational information relating to dental health, such as oral hygiene, diet, and regular visits to the dentist. Dental Health staff also present educational programs to classrooms at other times.
