Soon the children will be enjoying summer vacations with their families while the schools are renovating the class rooms, playgrounds and other infrastructures for the fall classes in August. Most schools will require dental and medical certificates to make sure that children are healthy and will not infect their class mates.

Most common reason for school absenteeism for children may be related to teething, dental issues such as toothache, cavities or something more serious. It is never too late to start with dental examinations, diet and oral hygiene counselling for school going children and their parents or caretakers. Healthy teeth and good diet enhances children’s ability to learn.

The prevention will involve dental examinations, x-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments, tooth sealants, fillings, or extractions. Medical and children’s health insurance program can help pay the bills or children can be qualified for dental services through grant funding.

School absenteeism statistics would have to include authorized and unauthorized absence at school. Additional reporting filters would identify the absenteeism of children attributable to illness associated with dental or medical issues. According to the Mayo clinic staff oral health of mouth, teeth and gums can affect general health. Oral health offers clues about overall health of school age children or that the problems in the mouth can affect the rest of the body. It is well known among the dental and medical health professionals that there is a connection between oral health and overall health.

The mouth has natural bacteria which is harmless and normally the body’s natural defenses along with good oral health care, such as daily brushing and flossing can keep these bacteria under control. Children without parental or adult guidance may not follow proper oral hygiene resulting in higher bacteria levels which can lead to oral infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease. Most educational institutes require certificates of good health from dental and medical professionals for young children entering school for the first time or back to school youngsters.

Local communities, city and state governments and nonprofit entities have struggled addressing the need of low income population for dental and health services for their preschool and k-12 children. Oral health services on wheels and onsite at the schools can be efficiently made available with mobile dental van or trailer. This online and onsite dental service can also include meals and oral hygiene education and training. Basic use of toothbrush and floss by the school age children can insure a quantum leap to improve overall health of children who can become healthy adults with their potential positive contribution to the society at large. The mobile dental van or trailer can travel to sparsely located communities to provide dental health services. In this regard mobile dental van can help to control school absenteeism of school age children.
