Konza Prairie Community Health Center is dedicated to providing affordable and accessible dental care to the community. With their Dental Outreach program, they serve over 80 schools in 19 districts across Northeast Kansas. Their experienced team of a registered dental hygienist and dental assistant visits schools to provide on-site preventative dental care, with no out-of-pocket cost.

This program is particularly beneficial for uninsured and underinsured families, as it allows them to access affordable dental services without leaving school. The statistics from the 2022-2023 Dental Outreach program showcase their commitment, with 12,559 screenings, 1,763 fluoride applications, 580 cleanings, 453 sealants, 18 temporary fillings, 8 baby teeth extractions, and 183 teeth treated with Silver Diamine Fluoride. Services provided by the dental hygienist include screenings, cleanings, sealants, fluoride applications, and temporary fillings.

To access these services, simply register your child with the school nurse using the provided registration form. Rest assured that if your child has dental insurance, the center will bill the insurance for services provided. In case of denial, there is no fee for services, and this also applies to uninsured students.
