School-Based Dental Program

Click Here to Register for the School Based Dental Program

Kinston Community Health Center’s portable school-based dental program provides services to the Lenoir County School’s PreK-eighth grades.

All children who are attending school in the Lenoir County School District or siblings of students, who are enrolled in Medicaid or are low-income and uninsured and have not seen a dentist in the past year are welcome. If you are low-income and uninsured, we’ll help you meet with our Patient Access support staff to apply for the slide-fee discount program.

Getting started is easy, click the link above to register for the School Based Oral Health Program. You can also contact our staff at 252-522-9800 and press 9. You will then be connected to one of our staff members who can assist you with registering your child in the program. Once your child is signed up, the school and the KCHC’s Dental Center will take care of everything else for you. Remember, parents, are always invited to dental appointments too.
