Mississippi (MS) Dental Plans
Much of the state of Mississippi is rural, so it isn't surprising that many families have little or no access to regular dental care. However, the State Department of Health is working hard to extend oral health care to families who are unable to reach it themselves. Through their Mississippi Seals program in collaboration with Mississippi Medical Center, preventive dental sealants are being made available to 2nd grade children throughout the state. In addition, grants are being issued to help ensure the fluoridation of drinking water across the state. Finally, through the school fluoride mouth rinse program, children in elementary school are given weekly fluoride rinse to help prevent tooth decay.
