Report on the 2019 Sealant Project at Mattamuskeet Elementary School provided by the NC Division of Public Health By Public Health Hygienist – Rae Elliott
Total Students Examined: 17
Number of Students Referred for Further Treatment: 3
Number of Qualified Students: 10
Number of Sealants Placed: 25
Total Cost Savings for Parents (Sealants are typically $50.00 per tooth): $1,250.00
Although we did not have a large number of students that received sealants, the project did provide a cost savings of $1,250.00 for our parents, not to mention patient education for students and decreased likelihood of decay in students’ permanent molars thanks to the protective sealants!
Overall, it was very successful. We would love to see more students take advantage of this free program!
