Bassett Healthcare Network is expanding a program to help kids keep healthy teeth. A preventative dental care program is now being offered through flouride varnish treatments. the treatments are being integrated into Bassett’s will-child checkups at it’s pediatric clinics. Flouride varnish is a protective coating that can be applied to teeth, which experts say significantly reduces tooth decay and cavities. The program had previously only been offered through Bassett’s school-based health centers.
