Help A Child Smile mobile dental clinic to visit local schools Jan. 19 Forms that enable children to receive care at the Early County schools are being delivered to children today. Parents of all patients, even existing ones, must fill out and sign a new form and return it to HCS by Jan. 19 in order for children to receive dental care. Help A Child Smile is a mobile dental program that offers comprehensive dentistry from state licensed dentists to children that have limited or no access to oral health care. Of new patients, over 50 percent have never been treated by a dentist. Help A Child Smile accepts most insurance, including Amerigroup, Peachstate, Wellcare, PeachCare for Kids and Medicaid. Founded by Dr. Mark Shurett and his associates in 1993 after 14 years of family practice, Help A Child Smile, unlike many mobile dental programs, provides comprehensive dental care including xrays, fluoride treatment, sealants, comprehensive exams and cavity treatment using composite materials. Help A Child Smile is dentistry made fun. Children are never restrained or given sedatives in order to be treated.
The mobile offices that will visit Early County schools are equipped identically to the offices of Dr. Shurett's family practice in Conyers. Each full service dental office is staffed with one licensed dentist, one registered hygienist, two assistants, one mobile manager and one X-ray technician. For more information, call 1-800-770-0388.
