Cuyahoga County Board of Health

Cuyahoga County Board of Health (CCBH) - Dental Sealant Program provides free dental sealants for students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades. Sealants are thin, plastic coatings that are painted on the biting surfaces of the back teeth by a dental hygienist and dental assistant. Sealants block food and bacteria from entering the narrow grooves of the teeth where decay is most likely to occur. Students are re-checked during 3rd and 7th grade to make sure sealants are still present. New sealants are placed if the student has new teeth or a sealant fell off. To have your child see an on-site health partner, please completely fill out and sign the appropriate enrollment form(s) and return the packet(s) to the Health Center at your child's school.
