Children’s Dental Services

Dental Care for Children

Our children’s dental program provides preventive and restorative treatment services to ensure the oral health of our young clients. The main cause of dental problems in children is tooth decay. Even when tooth decay is in its earliest stage, it can be detected by a dental exam. This is the best time for treatment.

Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic infectious diseases among U.S. children. Tooth decay is preventable, so schedule your child’s first dental check-up by age 1, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Dental Care Services are not offered at Newton County Health Center or Rockdale County Health Center.

Community Health Assessment / Community Health Improvement Plans

Community Health Assessments (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP) have been created for the three counties we serve.

The community-wide health assessment, which examines the county’s health status, is intended to help shape the collaborative efforts to improve the health of residents.

The community health improvement plan describes how the Health Department and a variety of community partners will work together to improve the health of the population through various projects and programs.

Access each county’s CHA and CHIP below:

What’s an epidemiologist?​

Epidemiologists are public health workers who investigate patterns and causes of disease and injury. They seek to reduce the risk and occurrence of negative health outcomes through research, community education and health policy.
