title: Accessible dental care for children.
abstract: The development of a school-based comprehensive and cost-efficient oral health care program requires careful planning centered on the needs expressed by the community. Gaining the support and the cooperation of school officials and parents creates an environment that has a significantly greater opportunity for success. Location, appropriate design of the facility and support from a local charitable organization further insure excellent access and expeditious care.
