About the Tooth Tutor Program
The
goal of Vermont’s Tooth Tutor program is to
assure that every child has access to preventive,
restorative and continuing care in a dental office.
Schools choose to participate in the Tooth Tutor Program.
A dental professional will help the school nurse update
dental information in each child's school health file,
assisting families who currently do not have a dentist
to find a dental home for their child/children and
providing a free dental screening to these children
upon request.
The Tooth Tutor also presents dental health education
in the classroom using the Tooth Tutor Curriculum.
This gives students the opportunity to learn more
about their teeth and their dental health.
