Open Door Health offering free dental screening for kids in 6 counties

(Mankato, MN) – Open Door Health Center is offering free dental screenings for children at schools in six southern Minnesota counties.

Children will get a dental screening, fluoride varnish, sealants (if appropriate), tooth care instruction, and supplies.  Parents will also receive a report card, which will outline areas of concern or need for follow-up treatment.
